The Big Day

Well, after waking up at the crack of dawn (bunking it old school with the brother; like we used to when we were young), we made it to the hospital at 6:00am. We got checked in fine, and mom was rolled into surgery around 7:45am.

Then, the waiting game began...

We received periodic (positive) updates on the progress of the surgery. They would call our cell phones and tell us things were going fine, with no ETA. Then, at 1:45, Dr. Lawton came out and told us that the surgery was a success and that mom is recovering in the ICU! The main aneurysm was successfully clipped and (what we thought was) the second one actually was nothing to be concerned with.

We are currently waiting for her to get out of the ICU to see her. I'll update you all later on when we know more!
