The procedure is underway. The operating room at Stanford has sent an update to say that everything is going well. We will continue to post as we learn more. Please keep the prayers and good thoughts coming!

Lizzy is out of surgery and awake! The surgery staff reports that all went well. Thank you for the continued thoughts and prayers. Lizzy should be able to go home later today.

3:25pm

Lizzy is on her way home! Her dad and Jerilyn arrived last night, so she has two great additions to her support team to help her recuperate. Thanks for all the love and support that continues to pour in for Lizzy!

5:15pm

Lizzy is home and resting.  She feels much better after this procedure than after her first surgery. The lymph specialist was able to connect three lymphatic drainage zones into a larger vein. Going into the surgery, there was no guarantee that any connections could be made so we are happy with this news!
