Another day, another small miracle
Elena is out of surgery now. The surgeon said that the procedure went very smoothly, and that the tumor was very easy to identify and remove. She'll spend 24 hours in ICU, and another day or two in the hospital; after that, it's her call as to when she leaves. I saw her briefly in ICU and she looked pretty good for someone whod just had her brain operated on. Thanks to everyone for the kind words of support!
