Guest guest Posted August 4, 2000 Report Share Posted August 4, 2000 I'm so glad to hear that Drema is doing well. As a mother, I can't imagine having to wait for a child to come through surgery! Keep us posted on her progress. I am also waiting to hear about Kathi Brandes who went in for surgery today. Her daughter is supposed to post this evening, but I just can't wait to hear! There are supposed to be about seven done today, but I don't think that all of them are members of this list, so I don't know who they are. My prayers are with all for a pain-free and speedy recovery. Stormy > Hi Gang: Whew...sigh of relief. My daughter Drema is finished with surgery...33 > minutes...and no trouble with anesthesia.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2000 Report Share Posted August 4, 2000 Dear Flo, Thank goodness my 'sister' is doing so well! (We were born pretty close together, ya know...smile) I hope that she is up haunting the halls soon. You did good, MeMe. I would have felt more comforatable if my mom had watched my kids. She came over and took them for a couple of days. She said when she came over and their little faces looked so pitiful she took mercy on them and brought them home with her. She said if I knew what they looked like and she didn't take them I would never forgive her. I am still wondering if I should or even CAN go to the picnic. I start nursing classes on August 21. My schedule on Friday, (when I would leave) includes classes. I have to be very careful about how much time I take because I will get kicked out of the program. Give Drema my love and hug the kids. I am relieved for you, too. Love, > Hi Gang: Whew...sigh of relief. My daughter Drema is finished with surgery...33 > minutes...and no trouble with anesthesia.
