My mom is out of surgery and there were no complications! Huge sigh of relief to hear that! Now comes the long recovery process which won't be easy for her. She will stay in the hospital until Monday or Tuesday then transfer to a nursing home in the area (its one of the BEST ones around and several of my relatives have lived there, including my mom at different times for rehab)...this time tho will be a permanent stay since my dad will no longer be able to care for her at home.
I will call her tomorrow when she has had time to wake up from the anesthesia and be able to communicate with me more coherently.
Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers...and a few people who really touched my heart specifically (you know who you are! <3 ) Please continue as she recovers....she will need it!
