Further update… Brandy’s mom came out of her procedure a little earlier this evening and was chatting and joking with Brandy before falling asleep in the recovery room for the night. All went very well. She is scheduled to be released from the hospital tomorrow. She’ll then come home and stay with us until her doctors declare her strong enough to travel. Which may be as soon as the end of this week, but most likely will be a bit longer than that.

In any case, looks like the worst is past, and she will be back here soon, and in fact will stay for a considerably longer visit than originally planned! Which is nice, although this isn’t quite the way one might have wished for a longer visit!
