Mom's Brain Surgery Update
Hey y'all from the wilds of Western MA! :)

Mom's surgery went really well! During recovery from anesthesia, she got up and went to bathroom on her own, she recovered in less than the standard 2 hrs, and was in her room within 4 hours of the surgery's beginning. She was really out of it and tired when we left her, so she was going to eat and go to bed. Her neurosurgeon told me that if she seems ok this morning, she can come home at midday today. :)

So I'm here, Sniffa's asleep, and I'm feeding my doggie babies, the kitties, and the lizards. It's weird to be home, hehe...

So, there's your update :)

10. Awesome!
I was wondering yesterday how things went. I am so glad everything went off without a hitch. How long before they'll know if this helps, or are able to determine what else she may need to have done?

21. UPDATE: Mom's Home!!!
Brought her home at 11:30, went and got her Tylenol 3, when I left to come back to Quincy, she was resting on the couch in her jammies. Said the flu shot they gave her was worse than the pain in her head, hehe. I'll keep y'all updated on her progress. :)

Thanks everyone for all of your good thoughts... :grouphug:
