Thank you for the prayers Hodge, it is very much appreciated. Evie is out of surgery, it didn't go quite as well as they hoped; she bled too much and needed to receive some donor blood, which is always a concern. However, she is stable now, and in the recovery room, the surgery being a success in spite of that complication. We are still waiting to go in to see her, so I am back online once again. Thank heavens for modern technology to keep my worried mind occupied!
