I've been on the phone with the nurses at Baptist this morning. They are now coordinating schedules for the operating room, Dr. Brown and Dr. Sullivan. They promise a call-back before the end of the day with a surgery date! Praise the Lord! Neither of us slept at all last night; Buzz was in too much pain, and the Darvocet hasn't helped. The nurse is calling in Ultram 50 mg to the pharmacy; hopefully this will help. The nurse also said that only a CT scan was done, no PET, as the doctor had originally directed. Keep us in your prayers, please!
