Day 1

Today is Day 1 of mom's recovery, she is in her room at Methodist North and is doing as well as expected. She is in quite a bit of pain, but hopefully we can get that under control soon. Yesterday went by really fast for me, I'm sure it drug on for mom. She was only in surgery an hour and a half and to our great pleasure, the surgery was not as extensive as once thought it needed to be. Her surgeon, Dr. Payne (i know, what a name right?!) called us and told us he was almost giddy at how well things went. Mom should have a pain free life from here on out and be able to eat pretty much whatever she wants (google and crohn's diet and see how much fun it sounds). I hate that I can't be with her at the hospital, but Daddy is there to make sure she is well taken care of. I want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, she is out of the woods, but still in so much pain, so keep them coming!
