I spoke to Colleen everyday on the phone, going to see her on Tuesday, it is a couple hour drive for me, but I can't wait to see her. She was still in ICU today (7-16)and waiting for gurgling sounds in her tummy to eat or drink. She had a few days of severe back pain, but getting better and walking alot. She may be in her own room tonight, but would rather go home and heal. Will update tomorrow.

****UNOFFICIAL ANGEL REPORTING****Colleen's True Angel--Angela--is preparing for her surgery own the 18.Soooo, I'll try my best to keep everybody up-to-date.Spoke with Colleen's hubby a couple of hours after her surgery. The wonderful man called me at work to let me know she is doing great and the surgery went well. She's gonna be in ICU until Monday(just a precaution for military hospitals). She's got her "happy meds"--morphine drip so I'm sure she doesn't feel a thing!!LOL I hope to see her Monday afternoon!!! "Sending a prayer for a speedy and uneventful recovery"....
