Mom is in ICU...she's comfortable, she's in some pain and Dad and I have left her alone for the evening. She doesn't look the greatest but of course not nearly as bad as I thought she could. I told her I was going to take a picture of her and her brother said he'd help her kill me. She said it was ok. I think she'd be ok with it because she kind of wants to know what she looks like...so until she's ok with seeing it you won't see it, but I will make sure she knows what she looks like. Thanks to our friends Will and Kim Schneider I'm able to get away, and relax for a few minutes while we're watching the end of the Cubs game. They have been a great source of stress release for me and I'm very thankful for it. Dad is sacked out at the hotel for now he'll be here tomorrow night. We gave her the night off from us. The nurses will be waking her every hour to do some "tests" so we figures she's in really good hands and we're all just worn out. Believe it or not sitting in a waiting room for 8 straight hours is hell. I just want you to know that. I know many of you know how that is and the updates we got and the surgeons stopping by was an added bonus. They are some pretty great guys and we're thankful to have made the right choice to come up here.
As soon as I know the protocol for cards, flowers, balloons etc. I will let you know the address to send to.
Thanks again for all your love and support I'll update the blog all day and all night as things progress.
Love to all...

I am happy to know that your Mom is doing as well as expected w/what she has been through! Yes, she needs rest, and so do you guys. Glad you took the chance to get away and sleep.
Are you sure you want to take a picture of her? Yikes. I'm scared.
Please let your Mom know that she is in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for this blog, Leah. I am thankful that I can "hear" what is going on w/you all.
Keep smiling and hang in there!!
