Morning After Surgery

I don't have a lot to tell you this morning, but I'll give you what I've got! Mom is still in the ICU. They had hoped to move her to a regular room sometime today, but it looks more likely that it won't happen until tomorrow, or at least later tonight. Dad re-iterated that the procedure went great. The surgeon was able to do everything that needed to be done, including relieving the pressure being caused by the leaking spinal fluid. Dad wasn't sure if he completely removed the sac, or just drained it, but either way the pressure has been eliminated. I will keep updating the blog as I get more information!
