UPDATE ON IRIS !!!
Iris called me a little while ago.
The surgery went fine. She has a hernia she will have to deal with at a later date. She was moving around friday night. Saturday she was walking around good. Today, it was even better for her.
She couldnt say enough about the great staff at PCMH.
This morning, Dr MacDonald came by to see her at 11:30 am and she was dicharged 30 minutes later.
She sounds sooooo happy. I cant wait to share in this journey with her.
Iris wanted me to let everyone know, esp. Annie, that shes thinking of all of you. She is staying with her mother tonight and will post in the next couple of days.
Annie, Iris thanks you for thinking of her :)

Hi Melissa,
Thanks so very much for the lovely update! It's good to hear that she's doing so well. I'm sure that they will be able to address the hernia later ... maybe she'll get a tummy tuck out of it! :-)
If you talk to her, please pass on my best wishes.
Thanks again,
Barb
P.S. I'm thinking of your upcoming surgery too and wishing you all the best.
