Surgery Over. Michele doing well!

Surgery over - it lasted about three hours. Michele did superbly well through the whole thing! The docs were able to remove the tumor, and do not expect there to be significant damage to the surrounding areas as a result of the surgery. She was actually talking to the doctors during surgery (!) they were monitoring her speech and understanding, in both English and French, mind you! She apparently kept them on their toes...Anyway, she was alert and quite lucid after surgery, but in quite a bit of pain, which was quickly knocked out by some strong drugs. She is now in ICU where she will be through the night. She is sleeping and (oh, ever so sweetly) snoring like a baby. We're hoping she'll be in a regular room tomorrow, and home by the weekend.

Please remember: There's a "No Visitors" request on for the rest of the week. Check this site for news. We'll try to keep it as up to date as we can... Michele knows that all of you want to reach out to her....keep her in your thoughts and prayers...

Such good news. Stay strong, Michele! Thank you, Mae, for setting this up. What a lovely and helpful way to connect with our dear, dear friend without disturbing her recovery.
