7:40am: Di arrived in the operating room at HonorHealth Emergency Center - Deer Valley. I went to the surgery waiting room with her and waited with her until they called her back. I could have stayed there during the surgery but decide to go home because I was able to get the kids off to school. They could be done with surgery by 3pm — the surgeon will call me either way. Diana won’t wake up for 2-4 hours after the surgery and then they will move her to a room where I can visit her.
1:00pm: Surgery is over. Diana is doing well and arrived in recovery room.
1:15pm: Doctor called and Di is actually awake already. Surgery went faster because they didn't need to use both flaps and so fewer bell blood vessels to suture. I still can't see her until they move her to a room in about an hour.
2:25pm: Diana is awake and in her room. Not feeling pain but her stomach feels tight. Had something to drink already. Nurses and staff ahve been great! Diana said she is so grateful for all the fasting and prayers and that it made such a huge difference for her!
