My in-laws, despite the hospital visit there were having (FIL’s Back Surgery) they still sent my mom flowers for her surgery.

The flowers they sent were really pretty, so I thought I would give a plug for the Florist.

Update:
She is doing fairly well. She had a leak test to make sure nothing is leaking from her surgery and all is good, so she is awaiting an ‘OK’ from the doc to have an ice cube.

Still no word on release, but it’s looking like Sunday night or Monday morning for sure.

2:53pm pdt update:
So now she can up to 60mL of water per hour (which is 2 to 3 swallows to most everyone)
She is finally getting some sleep off and on.
And if tomorrow goes well with 3 meals, than she will be discharged after dinner tomorrow night.

For all those who are paying attention..!  lol

Anyways, she came out of surgery just fine and pain free (at least at that moment).  Doc said everything went good and if all goes well she should be able to come home Sunday night or Monday.

One thing she didn’t like, was that she couldn’t have anything after surgery, even an ice cube..  YIKES!!!

Anyways, tomorrow morning they have to do some xray to make sure she isn’t leaking and then she can have something to drink.  She is doing good and in high spirits…

My Father in-law had back surgery thursday and he is still in a lot of pain but its betting better as time goes.  They say he might get kicked out last Saturday night.

I’m both of their surgery’s went good the last 2 days.  I’m heading back to the hospital to check on mom..

Blog ya later…! 

So i’m sitting in Redmond, WA while my mom is in surgery or should I say about to be in surgery.  The little status board still shows her in pre-op holding room.  According to the status monitor they are about 1/2 behind at this point.  Mom is pretty nervous, but she should be comfortable and sleeping shortly 

The Sun is out and it looks like it will shape up to be a beautiful day today here. 

They say the surgery will last about 3 hours, than 2 hours in recovery so good thing I brought the laptop with me today…

Update Later….

Updates:
8:22 - Status changed to “In OR-2″ So here she goes….

Looks like my mom’s surgery has been moved up from May to April, so it looks like I get to head home to Seattle sooner than later.  It’s been since last July since I have been home last and I’m looking forward to it. 

I also hope I will be able to check out a Seattle Sounders game while I’m there..
