Officially Spleenless...

What a long day. The surgery itself took about 9 hours. They were able to remove it laprascopically with a relatively small incision. The surgeon said this is the biggest spleen she has ever seen and estimated it weighed about 20 pounds! There have been some concerns with some of the blood tests after surgery; she has received some blood transfusions and plasma with clotting factors and vitamin K to reduce the bleeding. They are currently keeping her intubated and heavily sedated in the ICU. I'll continue to give updates when I am near a computer.
