My mother came through her surgery just fine.

The surgery was about 2 hours long and went well. They were a bit worried about her blood pressure but she came through just fine. Tonight they are keeping her in Surgical ICU and will make the determination whether she comes home tomorrow or Friday. My father drove us there and we arrived at 4:30 AM and I finally left the hospital at 6 PM, so you can imagine I am a bit tired considering I did not sleep at all last night.

I thank you all who responded in my thread with your well wishes and prayers. You all lifted her up in this hard time for her. She lost her only sister this past Monday from now appears to be a heart attack. She was only 64. It has been hard but we will get through it.

Thank you to my DU family one and all!

Having lost her sister just days before going on a surgery could not have made it easy.

Great that you have a family that supports each other. Now rest so that you can visit her with cheery face.

glad she came through the surgery so well.

Many of us can empathize with having to go through such stress at the same time...it is never easy. My condolences on the loss of your aunt, but thankful your mom is doing well.
