Renee's surgery went great! it took about 3 hours, and she was in her room around noon yesterday. I just spoke ot her, she said she had her barium swallow, and while they said things were moving slow, everything was going where it should be. She said the air pain is the worst (We all remember that, right?) but they've got her fixed up with that now, and they said she can take Gas-X when she gets home later today.
So, everythings fine so far!
