I've got to tell you, even though she doesn't have much hair, she now has more than me again, and it appears to be coming in red or auburn, but with that said, she's still showing all the characteristics of the RED! As you see from Kay's updates, the surgory was moved back a couple hours, and when things don't go as planned, Jan usually doesn't do well. She took this one in stride. It took a good 3 hours for both surgeons and then a couple hours in recovery where they wouldn't let us see her. We were finally allowed to see her in her room, and she looked as though she had a rough day. I mean a rough day, not a rough day with 3 hours of surgery and more drugs than you can count. By the time we left her to rest for the night, she had drank two small cans of pepsi and a bowl of C & N soup and was watching dancing with the stars. She had no nausea at all, which was one of our main concerns. History tells us she comes out of anestesia hard, and usually sick. She didn't this time. They must have found the right coctail. We'll have to get that recipe for future reference if its ever needed. Jan is truly an inspiring person after seeing her handle all thats been thrown her way. I'm sure we'll have more details tomorrow after we talk with both surgeons again. From what we understand, she will come home tomorrow sometime. A special thank you to several of you for helping us with the kids, sending flowers, making special arrangements with the Good Sam staff, sending prayers and simply for being our freinds and family. I know having her mom and dad here really helped put her at ease as well. Blessed are we to be so fortunate to have you all in our lives. A special thanks to Kay for keeping the blog updated today. (and, btw, she confirmed in her second update post today what I've known for a long time, I am the favorite!) More tomorrow sometime. Sweet Dreams and Here's to looking forward!
