Texas-Dallas and Ft. Worth

Just a quick update and thanks!

My mom was in surgery for about ten hours yesterday.  There were no complications and the surgeon said that it looked good.  We won't know if it's going to really work until later today.  She is in CCU (which is to be expected) and they are watching for signs of swelling and bleeding.  They had to put her on a ventillator earlier today but it was because her tongue was obstructing her breathing.  She should be in CCU for another two-three days and she is already moving around spontaneously.  They expect that she'll be able to follow commands in the next day or two. 

Thanks for all your thoughts, prayers and comments.  It's been pretty rough on all of us and there's a huge sense of relief right now that we haven't felt in a while.  She's not out of the woods yet but we at least have some hope at this point.  You guys are great!  Have a terrific Memorial Day weekend.
