October 27 - Thursday; Houston to Des Moines.
They were not able to do surgery on Susi last night because
of the blood thinner issue and were expecting to do it this morning. I called
my daughter Jessica when I woke up this morning and they were never able to get Susi’s
blood in a condition acceptable for surgery. Susi's cousin Barbara brought me to GW Bush
Int’l airport this morning for a 1:00 pm flight to Des Moines via Denver. The
plane was very late leaving Houston but I was lucky enough that the gate it
pulled into in Denver was immediately next to the one for the flight leaving for Des Moines. I barely made it – special thanks to Houston/Denver passengers that were
kind enough to let us off quickly. I arrived in Des Moines around 6:10 pm
tonight and was met by Jessica and her husband Matt. We arrived at
the hospital at 7:00 pm. Susi’s surgery started at 11:30 am and she was out of
recovery and in a room when I arrived -though pretty much still out of it. The
surgery went well and they are working on pain management and blood thickness.
