My mom was taken to Jeannes Hospital Thursday night, and operated on Friday morning. They removed part of her small intestine, which had become twisted and necrotic. I don't understand how that can happen without completely clogging it, which would show up right away as an inability to go to the bathroom, but that's an idle concern. I'm at my parents now, and visited her this morning -- she's weak and very tired, but recovering, in the ICU. She kind of half-sleepily recognized that dad and I were there, and was able to whisper a few sentences to us, but that's all. Dad says she's looking better than she had been yesterday, so I'm taking that as a good sign. I'll be over to see her again at dinnertime.
I'm holding up fine; seeing her was a big relief, since I'd only had dad's "she looks pretty bad" to dwell on before that. Send your good thoughts her way for me, please.
