Nancy is Doing Fine

Hi everyone,

I know you have all been waiting patiently all day for news about Nancy. Barry just saw her and she is doing fine. The doctors finished surgery late in the afternoon. So far all is good and going as expected. The doctors felt that they made good progress but would need to resume on Thursday to complete the surgery. While Nancy and Barry had hoped that this would be done in one day, they had been told that it was a strong possibility that the surgery would go into a second day. Nancy is comfortable and in a room on a step-down unit until then.

Please no visitors or phone calls. Nancy and Barry appreciate your continued support and prayers. They will provide me with an update to post on this blog on Thursday.

Thank you,

Gayle

  1. Thank you, Gayle, for the update. Nancy - so glad to hear that you are resting comfortably. I am sure you can hear our collective sighs of relief from all across the country. Sorry you will have to endure day two of more surgery, but I have never known you to take the "easy" path. You are just taking a bit more time to reach perfection. Hang in there.
    Love you - Gayle

  9. NEM,
    I can fully understand why you wish to be a little less fascinating! But, you can do day two just as well as day one, and probably a damn sight better than the rest of us (okay, me at least!)! I so admire your courage and strength and am sending my love, my prayers, and whatever else I can offer to help you face and conquer the next hurdle. You go, girl!!
    Love and prayers to you,
    SWA
