Speedy recovery, rdures.

Jill, we're all rooting for you. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

'Twas my post initially, just popped into the first thread I hit.

At this time, Jill Griffin is scheduled for
surgery at 7AM EST,06NOV01, at WakeMed 3000 New Bern AV. in Raleigh. Surgery is supposed to last aprox. 4 hours. Doctors maintain the anuerism is "small" and easily repaired.
Last report Jill was blasting the nurses because her head hurt and " why couldn't she have a cup of coffee". (Definitely good sign , she is cranky....)
Jill is only permitted to have immediate family visit, for 15 minutes at a time. No flowers, cards etc, as she will be in the Critical Care unit for at least a week
maybe more. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers

Thanks so much for the update!!

Please wish her well from all of us!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Sometimes when patients aren't allowed flowers, balloons are an option.

I just couldn't believe this when I read it since I had just spoken to Jill Sat. night! I want to add my prayers & get well wishes for this wonderful lady. She gives true meaning to the word "angel"

As of 2:30 pm Eastern time, Jill's surgery is complete and she is in the ICU in "guarded" condition. (The hospital said that this is a normal condition report for soon after major surgery.)

Thats great news Efrem. Thanks for the update!
