PRAYER REQUEST FOR MRS. DON-O

My wife Mrs. Don-o is having gastric bypass surgery on Thursday, May 8. If all goes well, she should be discharged on Saturday.
She is very confident in the surgeon, who has done over 1800 of these operations (four hour procedure). She is doing all the research possible on her own and expects do fabulously.
The hope is for almost instant relief from diabetes and three or four related co-morbidities. The major post-op risk, statistically, is pulmonary embolism. In her case, this risk is mitigated by the fact that she's been walking and exercising a whole lot, but exacerbated by the fact that she has a presently incurable and progressive form of COPD (rheumatoid-related bronchiolitis.)
She says if y'all would pray for her she'll breathe a lot easier (!) Thanks, everybody.

The staff on the third floor will NOT be forgetting her! *snort* I don't think so, either!
Hey, if you gotta be stuck there, you might as well have a bit of fun!

LOL! What a shock for the staff!
I put Mrs. Don-o in the book of intentions at Mass this afternoon, and sang “Como Estrella en Claro Cielo” to her. Hope you liked it!

Agreed, I am a nurse and sometimes there is a patient that you are happy for them to go home but you know you will miss them.....I have a feeling your bride would be the one that I would miss.....

Hang in there, Mrs. Don-o!
I don’t know if she posts much, but if she’s so inclined, I’d love to have her “blog” about her progress and experiences along the way.

I thought she was having gastric bypass, not plastic surgery ;-).
Glad the surgery is over and hope that the healing continues. Prayers for complete resolution of any diabetic problems she has.
