Ann's family news

For the second time this year I have sent plenty of time at the hospital with Patty for another surgery. Yesterday I took her to the emergency room. Doctors pretty quickly said it was her gall bladder but from there it moved slowly. They were quite busy. She was finally admitted at 8pm, I waited to talk to the surgeon until 9:30 but then went home. I had been told she needed to be on antibiotics for 24 to 48 hours before they could do surgery because of all the infection. We were surprised when Tori called this morning and was told her mom was in surgery. Don't know when they took her because she was on the computer when I called but she got back to her room about 12:30 after surgery. Tori and I went up this afternoon. The nurse said people usually go home just a couple of hours after surgery. We had the doctor called after she finally ate at 5 and drink some fluids (to make sure everything stayed down, she had not eaten since Thursday). The doctor would not release her, she needs to stay tonight for IV antibiotics and fluids. We will be going up tomorrow to bring her home. She was feeling much better when we left about 7pm.
