Thanks to everyone....

I JUST was informed that Mom is out of surgery. It took so long because apparently not only had her stomach ascended into her diaphragm again, but this time it took part of the colon with it. They had to unwrap the colon from around the stomach. The doc says he repaired about 80% of the damage but couldn't put in mesh or take care of all of the damage because of the scar tissue. Mom is NOT going to be happy about that part, but it could be a LOT worse. She's also not going to be happy about being in the hospital til Saturday, but hey.... we all have our crosses to bear as it were.

Thanks for all the private messages, support, candles, etc. I can now breathe (literally...allergies subsiding).
