The surgeon just came out and said that the surgery is completed, and that Jim is
doing well.
The surgery took a bit longer than expected, because he had tried to do a sleeve
resection (see the October 2 entry titled "The word from the surgeon" ) but it
turned out that wasn't really a viable option, so he did have to take out the two
lower lobes of the right lung. He did emphasize that he made sure the margins
are clear. They biopsied the lymph nodes, and will get results back from that in
a week.
Jim is now in the ICU, and we may be able to see him in an hour or two.

Please let Jim know that he's in our thoughts and prayers. Thanks for the updates!
Yes, please let him know that I asked about him. Others in Technology Support are asking as well. And thank you very much for keeping us up-to-date.
