Post Surgery...

Hi Everyone,
Meghan was in surgery this morning from 10am to 1pm. Doctor Simpson (I checked to make sure his first name was not Homer) installed a rod, he called it a nail, that is "Y" shaped and includes two screws to secure the femur shank to the femoral head. He believed it was a success, stating it was not a grand slam, but was definitely a home run. She has been in excruciating pain since the surgery and we are just trying to keep her comfortable. We have grown so accustomed to the extra special care Meg received in Boston that we are spoiled. This is a great hospital, it's just not the same and she has several times said, "let's go to Boston."
We so appreciate your prayers!! Please keep them up, as there are several more decisions that have to be made, and we and the Orthopedic team need great wisdom. Presently they want to give her a transfusion, but due to having blown out two ports in Boston during a transfusion she is petrified. As I type this two doctors came in and said they will postpone the transfusion until the morning and hopefully her blood counts will come up sufficiently so that she will not need a transfusion. Please Pray! If she has any dizziness, then they will immediately give her a transfusion.
Please know that we love all of you and so feel the support and prayer. Thankfully 4 of Meghan's 5 professors have written back to me and told me to tell Meghan not to worry about her course work because they will make arrangements for her. What a relief that was for her to hear.
