Erin's Surgery Update #1

Hello All!

This is Erin's baby sister Sarah reporting in for Surgery Update #1.

Erin's donor, Brenda, went in for surgery at 8:15am. We just received word at 10:45am that Brenda was closed up, moved to recovery, and in great shape. They were able to do the surgery laparoscopically, which is the best possible scenario for Brenda. She will be discharged on Thursday, if all healing goes as planned.

Erin was taken back for prep at 10:15am. Just two seconds ago Rick was taken back to give Erin kisses before being put under and taken into surgery.

So far, everything is going great. We are all waiting here at the Mayo Surgery Waiting area. I will be sending an e-mail update once Erin gets out of surgery (in about 2 to 4 hours) with further information on sending well-wishes, visitors, and Erin's recovery.

Much love to everyone,
Sarah M. Gillooly

Erin, I am a friend of Mandi's. I linked to you through her and have been following your story. I will be thinking of you today.
