Vickie went into surgery about 12:45 today. Dr. Bauman came out about 4:30 to inform her family that all went very well. They went up to her assigned room to wait for her and she finally came in about 7. Howard (her husband) called me about 8:30 to say she was awake and wanted to talk a little. She sounded really good; a little slow of speech (really good drugs I suspect) and had the dry mouth, but doing fine. Their daughter, April (who had the same surgery about 4 years ago), will be staying the night with her. She said to tell everone Hi and that she's doing fine. I will check on her tomorrow and give another update..Linda Sue
