Success!

Dr. Sweeney just emerged from the O.R. to let us know that Mom's surgery was finished and had gone very well. They started the surgery a little later than planned, around 9:15 a.m. Compared to the last surgery, this one was apparently pretty straightforward, even if it took a couple of hours.

Mom is in recovery now, where she will be for the next few hours. We'll get to go back and see her after she's been recovering for an hour or so. In the meantime, we're gonna go get some lunch! I'll report back later today after we get a chance to talk to the Llama.
