The surgery Tara had for her Chiari Malformation I which was making it even

painful for her to laugh is over and she is resting now -thank goodness!

Here's the history of the past few hours: They arrived at the hospital a bit

early 'and' the doctor was delayed and because they gave Tara a drug that made

her " loopy " (too bad no extra for Maureen who probably could have used some!)

Maureen wrote " Just before they gave her the sleepy meds. That made her very

loopy and she saw doubles of Max on Max and Ruby. Than surgeon got delayed, so

loopy lasted longer than supposed to. We got here too early this am but she's in

now, so now we wait! " There was a photo of Tara in her surgical outfit -same

cute little face as always.

The surgery must have taken a few hours because three hours later Maureen

updated with a simple " We are in recovery. All went well! " and then the more

recent just a few hours ago " She's resting. I get a meal plan and dont go broke

eating her leftovers, cafeteria food and on the streets on nyc! "

Will keep everyone posted as Maureen writes more! If anyone has a message for

Maureen and Tara let me know and I will cut and paste and pass them on -I'm sure

she'll appreciate it!

Good luck to Tara!  having just one thru a different kind of major surgery

with my daughter , i know the feelings.  Take advantage of what the hospital

offers, i was so upset the day we were leaving,day 6 the staff wanted to make

sure i knew they give free one hour massages at the hospital! A little late lol

better each day. ~~Dawn Falley
