Welcome Debbie to the Looser's side. She is Dianne's sister. I'm sure Dianne will let us all know later how she is. I TT Dianne about 1:30 this afternoon, she didn't know much at that time. However she left me a msg about 6:15 that Debbie is in room 5026A. So lets all send her our best. Here's the link. http://sba-nl-sm6-01.medseek.com/websitefiles/christianacare51740/body.cfm?id=263 Thanks Elissa

Thanks, Elissa. Yes, Debbie did well. Her BP went up but they controlled it with meds. I was only able to see her a few minutes and she was trying to get to the bathroom despite the foley cath. She was c/o a lot of pain. I came back in an hour and she looked a little better, really tired and beat. Hopefully the pain meds were kicking in enough. It was so weird... Deb was the 2nd case. Down at 9am. I went to surgical waiting room. After case #1, Dr Irgau came out to speak to that family and stopped to talk to me about my egd and ulcer. He then said he'd be back after Debbie was done. I never moved except to pace up and down the outer hall just outside of the door. Deb was done by NOON, but I didn't hear anything. Brett and Dr I said they both looked for me, not sure how. I saw Brett leaving the OR and assumed Dr I would be coming. Hours later, Dr Wynn came to speak to the family of case #3 and I grabbed her and she couldn't believe that I hadn't heard. She reassured me that Debbie was doing fine and then made a call and my sister was ALREADY ON 5D! Anyway, they worked their magic and all is well, but I was just going nuts waiting for some word!!! After that, I was walking down the hall to go to the elevators to see her as I had to hurry off and pick up my son for a Dr's appt. Dr Irgau met me in the hall and explained the surgery in detail and how well she did and couldn't have been more appologetic. Then after Ben's Dr's appt, I went back to see her and the nurse said she had orders to place a call to Brett when I arrived and he gave me the scoop again and appologized about the miscommunication. Like I said, the gist is they worked their awesome magic and my sister is fine. They were all truly sorry that I had waited for so long. I still think they are the most awesome bunch and excellent surgical team around. Hope I didn't scold Dr Irgau too much, he knows I think he is a genius. Then off to Open House at the youngest ones school and now home to the final BB5 episode. Dianne
