We joined MJ in the recovery room this evening (an hour or so after she requested our presence). All things considered, she looked fabulous. Just as Brother Joe suggested, she greeted us with a smile. None of the docs had spoken to her about the results of the surgery, so I filled her in, reciting what Dr Krivak said to me earlier. Needless to say, she was ecstatic about the success of the surgery. She drifted in an out during the 2 hours we were with her. Her stay in the recovery room is being prolonged by the fact that the ICU is full. Presumably some other patient will get the boot. Sorry.
More tomorrow,

WOW! God bless this family all around. MJ, you are the definition of "Girl Power." XOXO
