By the way...

...my mom is doing well. Her surgery went well, recovery was a bit harsh with them trying to deal with pain management for her. (She eventually had an epidural placed and loved it!) Other than that, The staff at this small northwoods hospital is great. They are knowledgeable and very friendly. (Some of the small town hospitals around my area are known for being the kind you should drive right past, even if you are squirting blood from your neck....)

And FIL has been behaving for the most part. He's had just a few moments where we need to redirect his train of thought. I think just having someone there with him has helped him. When he's alone, I think his mind starts thinking all sorts of crazy things. But as long as someone else is there, he has something to focus on.

So thank you all for your thoughts during this time. Overall, things are going well. We just have to have time and patience as her body does it's healing now.
