My mom went in for reconstructive surgery on her breast last Thursday morning. The surgery was routine, with a difficult recovery, but she was expected to be out of the hospital in 3 - 5 days. The surgery went well, but for some reason (probably because of they cut on her stomach, too) she was having trouble getting oxygen. They moved her to ICU when they couldn't figure out the problem. This morning they put her on a ventilator. The doctor told me that it is just a minor speed bump, and while totally unexpected with her health, they deal with this stuff frequently. It was very difficult for me seeing my mom this way. I wasn't as upset after speaking with the doctor, but I hated to see her in pain and crying. She is such a tough cookie, so that makes it hard to see her this way. She was writing me notes on a piece of paper since she couldn't talk. I love her - she is an awesome mother & friend and I certainly want to keep her around.
