Thanks!

Thanks for the prayers and/or good thoughts.  My mom made it through her surgery today with no complications and is resting for the night.  No more kids for her, but that's alright, I'm getting pretty old to be an older brother. 

In icky news, some of the removed components are being sent out for expert analysis to ensure there is no need for future concern.  Ick...when does Mike Rowe do that on Dirty Jobs?
