Mom's Gonna Be Alright...

I am back home for a few minutes from the hospital to check on the dog, so I thought I'd drop a couple of lines of update.

Mom made it through surgery all right. The surgeon said that he relieved a lot of the pressure on her spinal cord (he removed a damaged cervical disc) and that is going to help her problems. She came out of surgery able to move arms and legs, which was an obvious concern. She is still groggy from the anaesthesia, and wants to come home. Not gonna happen today. She is not really happy about that. Mom is a lot like me...makes a bad patient. She'll be sleeping off the meds for a couple of hours yet, and I doubt the doc is going to give in on this one.

We're going back to the hospital in a bit. I just wanted to echo my brother Kirk's comment from my last post, and thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers at this time. We certainly appreciate it.
