successful surgery

Thank you all for praying. Hope's surgery went well this morning. They had a little bit of trouble with her blood pressure, but it improved once they put the clips on. And yes, I did say clipS. Her opening was big enough that they used 2 clips. The clips are apparently a little smaller than staples and will stay in her. They expect her to sleep away most of the day because of the pain meds they have her on. I just called to check up on her a few minutes ago and the nurse said she's doing great. Her blood pressure is much improved over what it was last night. They are weening her down on her blood pressure meds. According to the nurse, they are "very pleased". Thank you, Lord.
