02/13/06 - HANNAH'S SURGERY WAS SUCESSFULL!!! She is back in her room tonight and there were NO MAJOR COMPLICATIONS. Although there were some SURPRISES! When trying to take out Hannah's spleen doctors found it too large to remove laproscopic therefore had to make an incision in her lower abdomen, aprox. 6 cm. They did not only remove Hannah's spleen BUT found a second spleen. Surprisingly, this is not that uncommon. Both spleens were removed during the surgery which took over 3 hours. Hannah DID NOT require any blood during the surgery. If all goes well over the next few days Hannah will be able to go home later this week and will return on Feburary 21st for her chemotherapy. During her surgery her G-Tube did get dislodged and may have to be reinserted but that won't be known for a couple of days. Until then, Hannah will need PLENTY OF REST to make a FULL RECOVERY!!
