Mom is out of Surgery

Mom is out of surgery.

The surgery went well. The fluid that had built up in Mom's head over the past week or so was very great. So great - that it could have killed her, but fortunately, the fluid found more places to go (like between skin and skull) and didn't build up more than Mom could tollerate.

Mom will be moved to an ICU room. We are not sure which one yet. She might be on the 4th floor of Roberts like before - or she might move to the ICU on the 3rd floor of Truett. I will let you know later this afternoon. If you visit, check both places.

Summary - Mom really needed the surgery today. She got it and for now everything seems fine. Keep praying. Daddy seems to be having an okay day. (It might be a better one if Mom didn't have to have brain surgery today.)

I will try to post more this evening. Sorry about the short post. I am on a lunch break.
