Out of the OR!

Debra's surgery was completed at 1:30 p.m. today and she is doing well. Bob reports the surgeon is very pleased with how well things went -- and that the surgery actually took about 1.5 hours shorter than originally expected. I'm sure Deb will be pleased to learn she didn't go over her fully allotted time!

She is currently in ICU and is expected to remain there until at least noon tomorrow. Family members will be able to visit her every 2 hours.

Additional test results expected on Friday will reveal whether additional treatment/therapies will be necessary.

In the meantime, please continue to keep Debra and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

Please also feel free to take a moment and post your well-wishes and let Debra know you're thinking about her.

You were my State Rep for most of the 1990s, and I was proud to vote for you every election. My very best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
