My daughter came through the surgery very well.  She does still have some blood in her urine but they think that is from the bladder/kidney infection.  Her WBC is back to normal so there are no signs of infection right now.

Thank you so much everyone for the thoughts, prayers and well wishes!!  You all are the BEST!!!

Hi everyone.  Just wanted to let you know what is happening with my daughter.

The surgeon said her gall bladder needs to come out ASAP.  They just took her to surgery to remove it this morning.  It will take about 1 hour after they start so they told us it would be about 1 1/2 hour - 2 hours before we hear anything.

She had salisbury steak with gravy night before last and evidently that set off another actue attack.

I'll post on this thread later how she is doing.  The surgeon said she might go home today if everything goes really good.  I know alot of us know about this surgery and can relate to the recovery from it!!  The same doctor that took mine out (Open) is taking hers out lap -so we had a laugh about that with him.

She did have a UTI and some other issues, but they are hoping that is cleared and this will help correct all the other lab test that are out of whack.

Thanks everyone for being so supportive.  I told her about y'all and she thought this board was really neat and said to tell you all hello and thanks for swinging critters for her.

We'll all keep swinging until we hear back from you that she's out of surgery and on her way home.

So I still have these hips.  Do you think it woul be ok if I swing those instead of critters?  :)
