Egg-less determination

Oh the happiness!
Apparently Kelly is up walking and talking!!!!!!!!  The nurses say this is the fastest recovery they have seen; it is very rare that a brain tumor patient gets up immediately after surgery!  She literally just arrived from the O.R. into her recovery room and is already moving around as if nothing.  That sister of mine...is a miracle :)

Moma and Pops just went in to visit her!  Hector is next...and then me!!!  I can't wait!

P.S.
I think that the definition of PMA needs to add an additional meaning: KELLY "The Warrior" DILLON

  47. What a relief!!! But of course, nothing we didn´t see coming. With everything we´ve read about you, and everything we know about you, we were sure there would only be good news after the surgery, and it´ll get better and better. G-d bless you and your entire family.
