Syl's surgery update
« on: June 15, 2008, 02:59:31 pm »
Hi, all.

Tomorrow's my big day.. I had originally decided on translab, but changed my mind about a week ago.  I will now be having the retrosig procedure. My niece, Jessika, is my scribe.

Thanks all for your support, prayers, well wishes, and good vibes.
I will tune in as soon as I can.

Has anyone gotten an update on Syl?  Her surgery was supposed to be yesterday.  I'm anxious to hear something.  *taps foot in anxiousness*

Me, three  ;)

I was looking for a post last night, but figured it was too early for one.

Hope Jessika updates us today!

Hey Jessika

What's going on with Syl?  We're like a anxious family nervously pacing the cyber-hospital floors.

Please let us know!

Hi!
I/ve been wondering what's happening with Syl too.  I checked here once before but didn't leave a message.  Hope we hear something about her soon.

Maybe Syl should have threatened to torture Jessika like Tamara threatened to torture Don  :o

LOL - only kidding, folks!   :D

I'm getting more anxious as the days go by, but I'm sure Jessika will tune in soon.

Re: Syl's surgery update SO SORRY IM LATE!!- JESSIKA
« Reply #14 on: June 19, 2008, 01:01:05 am »
Sorry, I wasnt getting my confirmation email for the site. I wrote my response in the other forum syl has as well. But basically sylvia's doing really well. Surgery couldnt have gone any better. The tumor didnt cause any trouble in surgery and wasnt "sticky" (is what im told but you guys understand this better then i do)  She just got out of the ICU as of last night or today (im not to sure). Im told her hearing was saved and her facial nerves are fine. I saw her the other day and except for a bit of swelling she was in high spirits and reminded me to write you guys (i apologize for my lateness again). She might be home on Saturday depending on how shes doing but because she is recovering well, i find it very plausable.

She says thanks for the the prayers and well wishes

i'll be happy to answer any questions,

Jessika
