Exhale

Janet is out of surgery and in recovery! I talked to her doctor and he said the surgery went well and it was able to be done lapriscopically (which is great!). Janet is in recovery for the next two hours and then once she is moved ot her room I will be able to go up and see her.

Thank you to everyone who has been thinking of and praying for Janet today. The doctors here at MGH are amazing, and the volunteers have such an amazing set up to take care of all of us while we wait! 

I met some amazing people while I was here waiting, and somehow it is always incredibly comforting to talk with others who are waiting too. Everyone has a different story but the underlying messages are the same we are all here waiting for someone we care about and no matter how "simple" the surgery or how "confident" we are that our family/friend will come though it with flying colors there is always that little nagging level worry.

I am glad that the two other people I met today both got positive news from their surgeons as well.

I will post again after I have had a chance to visit with Janet.
