Kip

Surgery is later today. Expert vascular surgeon Dr. Robert Thompson from Washington University in St. Louis will attempt to repair Kip's clogged axillary vein by replacing the damaged portion of the vein with a vein from Kip's leg. Dr. Thompson doesn't plan on removing the first rib, but will do what he has to once he gets in there. There's an outside chance Kip could be back later this season. Good luck, Kip, we're pulling for you.
