Gwen update
Just texted back and forth with Gwen for a bit. Apparently her O2 levels keep dropping and they're now going to check her lungs for any clotting that may have occurred. Hopefully they'll figure out what's going on very soon, as I know she is anxious to get out of the hospital.

Rarrely. I mean, there are some complications immediately post-op, but most are dealt with quickly. The O2 issue isn't uncommon, but usually more quickly treatable. I'm grateful that they're checking for clots, as this is very serious.

I called Gwen and finally got through on her phone. She is there all by herself right now but is hopeful that she can go home tomorrow. I really tried to encourage her not to ru**** and better to stay there an extra day if needed. She still was having problems with her O2 levels dropping every time she stands up. She sees a specialist tomorrow so hopfully will get some answers. I read her all of the postings about her on here and she seemed really pleased. Always good to know there are people out there *****ally do care about you!!!

I"m so glad you spoke with her. She sounds really down in her texts and I can understand why! I'm also glad you read her the posts, I'm sure it made her feel better - very kind of you. Hopefully we'll hear some good news today!
