Mom's Surgery

For those of you awaiting updates here, I've been having some
technical troubles, but once again my good friend Ed in Brooklyn
helped me find a way around them.

Mom went into surgery around 9:35 AM CST this morning (Thursday).
She's going to be having a double bypass, and we don't know if she'll
be "on-" or "off-pump" (i.e., on a heart/lung machine).

She was mostly in good spirits, if a little cranky. They woke her up
early to take an X-ray, and we had bad storms overnight here in north
Texas that woke a lot of people up.

We expect the surgery to take between 3-4 hours, and am hoping to see
her in ICU in the early afternoon.

She wanted to let all her AOL chat friends know that she very much
appreciates all your prayers and well wishes, as do we her family.

Khristol, Dad, and I are firmly parked in and/or around the family
waiting room here at Presbyterian Hospital in Denton, Texas. We hope
to get an update soon from the OR.

Thanks again, and I will keep you all posted here as we learn more
details.

God Bless.
