Caring Bridge Update - Scott Was Admitted Tonight for Surgery Tomorrow

Journal entry by Debbie Heiman — 4 hours ago
We found out yesterday that the HIPEC (hot chemotherapy) portion of the surgery was being denied. The hospital talked to the insurance company one more time today, and by God’s Grace, it was accepted!

We were told yesterday that if it was accepted, we would be admitted today.  We will be heading to Froedtert in 2 hours. Scott will be receiving fluids all evening to prepare for the HIPEC portion, which can be very dehydrating to a person’s system.

I’m so thankful that my Mom came into town a day early (yesterday) to take care of the kids. We found out yesterday for the first time that we may be admitted today, opposed to 5AM tomorrow morning. It’s just 1 extra night in the hospital, thank goodness! 

Prayers are appreciated for Scott especially and for the surgeon and nurses who will be caring for him during this long surgery. God will be overseeing the whole surgery, so I have confidence in his promises.
