Katie's Carepage has been updated by her husband.... surgery was over 10 hrs, AN a bit intertwined but she's doing ok.. facial nerve function as of now looks good.  Dr. Barker (neuro) feels confident that all is well, and they are hoping to shift her from ICU to reg. room tomorrow.

waiting on update from her scallywag today.. he was rather exhausted last night (at midnight, no less) after such a LONG day/ordeal.  he is delivering another Pirate message to her (I had to explain the whole thing to him as he didn't understand the msg at the nurses station, but he did note that katie was a little alert when she got the original msg and she knew what it meant! :) )... so, another pirate msg to our girl in sickbay. 

More to come as I hear more.....

As of 4:20pm today, Katie's still in ICU. She should be out by tomorrow, in a regular room.
I'm sure she'll be okay for our visit on Saturday.

I just died when I saw the pic...

if you all go to the photo gallery there, there are 3 pics posted... look for the caption underneath... then, you'll know which picture we reference.



I called her during my lunch hr and spoke to her mom. Katie isn't haven't such a good day today and I sent along scallywag/wench wishes.... CrazyKat/Paul and I will try to see her over this weekend, if she is feeling better and ok with having visitors. Will check in (via phone) with her/her family over the weekend to see how she's doing.

Okay, this is totally unfair, Katie looks gorgeous.  I looked like a kicked soccerball for weeks after my surgery and she looks fantastic.  My prayers are with Katie and happy thoughts.
