I am Kathleen's sister and I am currently out of town. I have spoken with my mother and she tells me the doctors state the surgery went well. Kathy was reportedly in good spirits immediately after the surgery, but has since gone into a major slump. The medical staff report that she will not get out of bed and that they cannot make her (she is now 3 days post-op). My mother is very concerned. She said that Kathy has said several times that she wishes she could speak to someone who has gone thru the surgery. For some reason, she is not answering her phone at Loyola. My mother says she can't reach it??? At any rate, this is an SOS if there is anyone who has been thru this and could go to see Kathy at Loyola, you will be a Godsend. Thank you.
