Hi everyone. I am a friend of ANnette and am posting for her. ALlyssa went in for her surgery she was scheduled for 7:30 am but they did nit begin until 8:30. The nurse was really great calling Annette every half hour to keep her and Alex updated. Around 11:30 ANnette had just said when nurse called she was going to ask them if they started other side of brain. WHen the dr walked in. The surgrey instaed of taking five hours took 3. ALlyssa did great. She needed a little blood but other than that was fantastic. Annette got to see her a half hour later. She was in alot of pain. Today her eyes were swollen shut and she is is still inpain butis really doing amazing. She was already moved to a step down ICU. She is talking ans doing so well. Thank you for your prayers. They have met so much to ANnette and her family.
