So far out in left field I got lost
Mom's surgery went well today. The surgeon said that it was a good thing that they got her in as her gall bladder was about to rupture. She has been moved to ICU, bcause she was having a little bit of trouble with her breathing. She is doing well but I really hate to see her on those machines
Mom is also in the ICU room that Dad was in before he died....I hope she doesn't realize that it is the same room where Daddy was for so long


All in all it has been a very stressful day. I spent the night with Mom last night so I could be there with her before going into surgery. I knew just how scared she was of the surgery. She didn't have a very good night and we both were up most of the night. Tonight as far as I know right now my sister or one of my brothers is staying tonight in the ICU waiting room so I could come home to get some rest. I will be back up there first thing in the morning.

I just wanted to give everyone an update on how Mom is doing. Please continue to pray for her.

Prayers for her full recovery, and your peace of mind. How difficult for you that it is the same room. Maybe as she improves, they will "kick" her out of there, and over to the regular floor real soon!

Thank you all for the vibes and well wishes for Mom
She is doing well, they did take the breathing machines off of her yesterday afternoon so she could breathe on her own
Her color has improved a lot. She went from the yellow Jaundice look to a much more healthy pink color, not quite normal just yet though.

We are hoping that today she will be moved to a regular room. I will be heading up that way in just a few minutes to see her, I needed to do a little laundry and stuff here before I head up that way
Work is never over is it?
