Thanks for all of your wonderful prayers and good wishes. THEY WORKED!!!
Mom came out of surgery a few hours ago only after 4 hours of a surgery that was to have taken 5-8 hours. Her other medical conditions did not interfere with her surgery and she is recovering in ICU. She had been extubated very soon after surgery (THANK GOODNESS) as she would have been petrified waking up with a tube in her throat. She will be in Dallas for at least another 2 weeks and she will then be transported directly to a rehabilitation facility on LI. Assuming all goes well, which seems to be the general consensus of all the medical professionals involved, she will be able to attend the wedding. She may not be able to walk down the aisle, but just being there is a goal enough to satisfy everyone.
Once again, I could have not gotten through another horrible ordeal without the support of my family both blood and bridal (LIW) related. Your thoughts and kind words have sustained me throughout the past few days. Thanks again. Bless you all!

Thanks everyone. The next goal is to have mom transported safely after she has healed some back to NY. It isn't going to be easy.
