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.   MJ

She is lucky to have you by her side. Thank you for the update.
