Patty's out of surgery

Hi everyone:

Patty went into surgery around 8:30 this morning and came out around 10:00. She now has a Quinton catheter in place just below her right collarbone. The procedure went fine and, other than some grogginess, Patty seems to be doing great. The picture to the right was taken just after she came back to the room -- she looks a little stoned, don't you think?

We're still keeping our fingers crossed that she'll be able to escape for the weekend. A couple of days away from here would be a nice respite, especially since we know she'll need to return next week.

No more word yet on the whole lupus issue -- I'll provide an update later if we find anything out. As I write this, Neil and Kathleen are visiting and MB is on her way.

Love,
Brian

She looks annoyed. Someone should give her some of that candy.
