Dr Lenke just dropped into the waiting room to tell me that Nancy is in the recovery room, She is intubated but breathing on her own, moving her arms and legs well. He said they accomplished all of their objectives, straightening her posture and gaining about two inches of height.
She'll be in the recovery room for a couple of hours for observation, and then she'll move to ICU when a bed opens up which might be hours later.
I'm not supposed to be able to see or visit her until she's in the ICU, but if that is going to be for an extended period we'll see how firm they are about that.
I am overcome with relief -- haven't felt this way since the kids were born.
A lot of recovery and rehab to go from here, but it appears the part that was far beyond our control is over and went very well.
Thank you all for your support, prayers, good thoughts and concern.
I think I'm done for the day here...
I am so happy for you and Nanc and your family!!! Wishing you all the best for the next stage!!!! Hallelujah! xoxoxo Peg
