[Oe List ...] Fwd: Daughter Eva, successful surgery!

[Ellie Stock]

Dear Friends,

Greetings from Pittsburgh--a beautiful day--not only the bright sunshine but Eva's successful surgery!

Just returned from the hospital a little while ago.  The day finally arrived!   Eva's surgery on her carotid artery started around noon, about an hour and a half later than originally scheduled.  Surgery was over around  2pm, followed by the gradual progression to the recovery room and ICU by around 3pm.  Couldn't see her until visiting hours started again at 4pm.  Naturally, Eva is relieved it's over, very tired, talked a little with us but just needs her rest.  The right side of her neck is swollen, and I imagine she will have a bit of discomfort the next few days or longer.  Don't know how long she will be in ICU or the hospital.  Dr. said it could be 1-3 days--will know more tomorrow.  Total recovery 4-6 weeks.  I will be here at least until Tuesday, maybe longer, if needed.
Thank you beyond words for your love, continuing prayers, lit candles, and wonderful support through all of this.  You have been such an encouraging spirit community surrounding us. 
Grace and peace,blessings and love,
Love,Elinor/Ellie/EJ :)
