12:55 pm Dr. Gonzolvo came in and told us she did GREAT, she was in recover and already chatting wide awake and very happy. He told us the surgery went from 10:30 am - 12 Noon
We went in and saw her in recovery (pics attached)
3:30 she was placed in ICU (standard procedure for the first 24 hours after this type of surgery)
We left at 5:15 as she was very sleepy. She will be out of bed and walking this evening as well as sitting in a chair.
Tomorrow they will do the swallow test (again standard procedure) and then she will start on phase 1 of her new life getting clear, sugar free liquids.
She did great and I will write again tomorrow.
