Chelsea had her surgery tonight, and is doing just great. She had to wait all day long without eating anything because she wasn't an emergency case and they finally took her in after 7. It wasn't long and she was done, the surgeon said it went perfectly. He said the stone was never going to move on its own so it was a good thing they did surgery. He said they were able to go in and grab it without any trouble at all, they got it whole and didn't have to do anything else. They'll analyze the stone but he said it's likely just from her not drinking enough water, which is what we'd figured. So all's good with her, she'll be home tomorrow.
They took my friend off the oxygen today because she didn't need it anymore, but she's still in the enhanced care unit. She may be in the hospital for a couple more weeks even, but at least she's healing and getting stronger. She was a bit feistier today so I think she's starting to feel better. Once we get Chelsea home tomorrow I'm heading out to the farm and I'll be staying out there to take care of things until my friend's released from the hospital. My 16-year-old daughter has been out there taking care of things for the past couple of days while we've been occupied with Chelsea. I won't have Internet out there, so please don't anybody be alarmed if I don't respond for a few days or even a couple weeks. I'll probably come home here and there, but I'm not sure if I'll have time to hop online if I do.
Thanks for all the TLC and concern! That's all from my little corner of the world for now!
