Carissa is in Surgery

This is Carissa's little sister, Celeste, just posting a very short update at this point.

Carissa is in surgery now. The surgery was originally planned to begin at 6:00 am. As is typical in these situations, the surgery was delayed and was rescheduled to begin at 7:15 am. Mom is in the surgical waiting area where she will only receive the most basic updates. However, this is an improvement over previous surgical experiences we have experienced. Carissa (and other patients) has been assigned a number. The number displays on a screen that lists her current status with the most basic information (in pre-op, in surgery, in recovery). Mom was told that the surgery is expected to last approximately 3 hours, but we know that can vary tremendously based on what Kareem finds. At the very earliest, we expect we may know more around lunch time.

Please continue to be praying for Carissa, Kareem and our family during this time.

We will update more as soon as more information is available.
