Post-op

So, I just realized (after being informed - thanks Cheryl!) that I forgot to give a post-op update. The surgery went very well. The doctor was pleased with how the procedure went and how my mom's body is handling it so far. After much discussion and consideration, she decided to spend some time in the Stonehenge rehab center in Orem (not England, just in case you were wondering), the same place she went after the hip replacement. Physical therapy is already underway and we're looking forward to a swift recovery. She got all settled in yesterday and would love to hear from anyone. Her number there is 801.850.5439. Thanks for your love and prayers!

New Hip

My mom officially has a new piece of hardware in her hip! The surgery was today and the doctor said it all went very smoothly and that it's looking good. He will be in tomorrow to talk in more detail about it. My mom got some great post-op medication, so hopefully she is down for the count for the rest of the night. 

I'm sure she would love to hear from or get a visit tomorrow from anyone who might be interested. She is at the University of Utah Hospital, room 6330, and her phone number is 801.585.8630. If you need the privacy code for calling her (I'm not sure if you'll need it, but just in case...), call or e-mail me and I'd be glad to give it to you.

So, that's about what we know for now. She got a blessing before going in and was so grateful for the extra help. She told me she is also grateful for the prayers on her behalf lately, especially going in to today.

Love you all and I'll update as we know more.
