Surgery Begins

All day the doctors and nurses kept coming into our room telling us that the surgery would be in the afternoon. I went to go get something to eat because Elsa wasn't allowed to eat before surgery we were taking turns leaving the room. When I got back from eating, I saw that there was a hospital gurney outside of the room. My mom didn't know anything about it yet, but less than 5 mins after I got back the nurse came in and said that they were ready to take her to surgery because a spot had opened up. We all gave her some love and the nurse took her into the OR. 

We just got an update from the nurse saying that Elsa took the anesthetic well and the surgeon is just getting ready to start his part. We will get another update in an hour. We don't know exactly how long the surgery will take because it depends on whether or not they are able to take out the whole tumor or just do a biopsy. 

Just to let everyone know, we are unable to go to the FaceBook website because it is blocked at the hospital.
