1/22 Julie surgery recovery

On 1/22 Julie went into surgery at 2:00pm at USC University Hospital. Surgery went well however encountered a few little bumps before and after surgery. Julie was a bit dehydrated from not drinking all day before surgery so finding a good vein to draw from was a bit challenging and somewhat painful. In addition after surgery Julie’s recovery was a bit slower due to nausea so the doctors kept her over night. In the end the surgery results made for an even distribution of 360cc in each side. She has drains again but hopefully this will be short lived.

This morning she has improved dramatically by her eating orange and red Jell-O, had a cup of coffee and made her first walk around the nurses station and now is reading the LA Times.

We hope to have Julie released from the hospital this afternoon and back at her Aunt and Uncle's for a speedy recovery
