Thumbs up Cindylou's Surgery Went Well

Hey Everyone,

This is an update for Cindylou. Her surgery was ~1.5 hours and things went really well. She will be in the hospital between 2-4 days. She'll update everyone on her progress / surgical experience in a few days.

On her behalf, thanks to the community for all of your well wishes and prayers.

Yay! So glad to see this (right after I posted in the thread about the delay), and will be thinking about you CL, for a quick and relatively painless recovery.

Praise God! That is great news that everything went wonderfully and she is in recovery. I can't wait to hear from CL on how her recovery is going. I hope she is enjoying the well deserved drugged rest she is getting! God Bless CL and take it easy, K
