Abby came through surgery wonderfully. They were late getting started, so it was nearly 4:00 by the time they took her back. She was out around 7 pm. They took more than a golf ball sized piece of tumor. She is in a fair amount of pain today, but we have been able to keep her comfortable and she has wanted to get out of the room some. Thankfully, she has not had a single gagging/coughing/vomiting episode today, so surgery has accomplished what we'd hoped.
Her next surgery is scheduled for the week of May 9th, though we don't know the exact date yet. This surgery is expected to last 12-13 hours and will involve moving tissue from another part of the body in order to support the structures that are left due to the large size of the tumor. We will update with more detail as we get it.

Glad to hear your update. I hope Abby can be more comfortable now that she isn't vomiting so often. Thinking of you all.
