Update: Bp. Mengeling recovering from surgery
Bishop Carl Mengeling’s bladder was removed late Tuesday and the leader of Greater Lansing’s Catholic community was said to be resting comfortably.
“He was resting as comfortably as possible for a person who had pretty serious surgery,” said Michael Diebold, director of communications for the Catholic Diocese of Lansing.
Mengeling, 76, underwent surgery last Friday during which about half of a large tumor was removed from his bladder. He had been earlier diagnosed with bladder cancer. Tuesday, his entire bladder was removed.
The surgery started sometime after 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. Mengeling is expected to require at least six to eight weeks of recovery. His doctors have asked that he not receive visitors or phone calls.
