We just spoke with the surgeon and the surgery went extremely well! The surgery took 6 hours in total, and Julie is now in recovery in the critical care unit and we're hoping to see her in the next couple of hours.
The surgeon told us he was very pleased with the tumour removal, and the lymph nodes that were removed didn't appear to be cancerous and will be analyzed to confirm.
The skin graft from Julie's wrist onto her tongue went well and there is a 95% chance it will take.
Julie will most likely move to the step down unit this evening or tomorrow, and be there for a couple of days. We'll wait until Julie is well enough to tell us when she's ready for visitors and we'll let everyone know.
