She's Sleeping...we think

Hello from Milwaukee.  Mom is in surgery.  She got a bad haircut going in but I think she'll forget all about that once she gets the good drugs.  Dad said she was pretty anxious when they wheeled her away but I'm sure she's fine now.  Dad, Grammy, Granddad, Uncle Terry and Aunt Jeannea, and I will be in this nice little waiting area they have set up for us.  It's nice and quiet and I'm hoping to get a nap after while.  

Here's the details thus far.  It's going to be at least 6 hours for surgery, then another 90 minutes in recovery and following that another lag time for transfer to ICU.  So far so good...everyone is reading whatever they brought with them and the elevator music is playing.  yay.  

I'm really trying to stay upbeat.  Thanks for all your thoughts, prayers and text and emails during my drive north.  They really helped me out.  Made me tear up but helped too. 

I'll update more as soon as I know.

LOIS - I've read every report and got the message from Leah on my phone. Tried to call back with the number but couldn't reach any of you - talked to a nice man several times, he was very patient but assured me he wasn't you or anyone connected to you! Ha!

First time I've tried this.

You are in our hearts and prayers. I've talked to Linda, Paula, Bobbie and Becky and everyone upto today except for your allergic set back. Pee in the pot, walk, eat, sit up, lay down, whatever ... then get home soon.

LOVE Judy Sue
