Surgery was done around 1:45 or so. They seem to think that they got all of the tumor, leaving about 1/3 to 1/4 of the kidney. The kidney will now go to sleep for a few days, and only after then will they be able to determine whether it will function or not. After removing the tumor, and stitching it back up, they did say it turned pink which indicates good blood flow and it's a good sign for now. He has been in recovery since then, and Linda has just gone to see him. He will move to ICU in the next hour or so, and then to a regular room later this evening. According to the dr., it went as well as it could for how big the tumor was. Please pray that it will work well enough to hold out while he has the second surgery in 4-6 weeks from now. I will update more once I know more.
