Cara's 2nd Surgery in Few Hours
Aug 23^rd, 2004 at 3:32am

We're in Rochester...going to the Mayo - St. Mary's Hospital at 530am...for operation #2 on the left side. Hoping it goes better than operation #1 which she suffered a mild stroke losing her right side....but with PT and OT...the past 3 wks shes come back strong...not 100% yet...but her personality returned...re-learning many things. I hate to have her go through it again...but I was amazed at all the help she got back home to get her to where she is now...nice and strong for the second one in few hours. Her first surgery on her right side (100% closed) was a tough one...the left side is 30% closed...so they should have more to work with (hopefully). Thank you all for being there.

Talk to you later,

CarasMOM

Warm Hugs and Prayers, CarasMOM (Carol)

I alwasy think Kathleen is going to get upsat when we go to the hospital.She alwasy just says "no shots",and "Kathleen all better". Thank you for the reminder I can't seem to keep track of how fast this month has gone by.

CarasMom,

Our experience was that Tara's second surgery was a little bit easier - we at least had a sense of what to expect!

Many prayers for all of you . . . . . I know that God will wrap his arms around you and give you the strength you need.

Big hugs to that little darling of yours - please update us when you can!

Jill

She had had severe strokes just days before it(which was just days after her first surgery). Amazingly she had no complications after the second one.Prayers for Cara.... Mary Grace
