Oh Lord! Wow! It's been a LONG wait for her!  She put a post in here (Surgical area) awhile back I believe. .... I'll have to go dig out the link and put it here. Yeahp; found it.... when she put the original post up it was in March/09 . At that time she'd been waiting 29 months. So; it's now been 3 1/2 years ..... philns.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=surgery&action=display&thread=4161Thank you so very very much Sue for posting this..... and yes I'll say a prayer and I'll also ask Sarah to watch over her.  |

Jackie, Thanks for bringing up the old posting of Colleen's. I was able to locate the hospital that way. They do not have electronic emails there like some but you could send cards to the hospital. She should be there a while. They gave me Room 571 intensive care.
I don't suggest anyone call there as they probably all need rest. Should have time to get cards in the mail.
Hospital of University of Pennsylvania
3400 Spruce St.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19104
I already did my exciting posting on the other board. This was a great surprise and especially that it actually did happen. Hi to everyone here that I know.

Here is what Wendy posted later today:
"this brings happy tears to my eyes...saw this on her FB page and it was written by her cousin
My cousin is doing well! Just spoke with Char who is on her way to Philly with Danny. Coll is up and squeezing the hands of the nurses and giving thumbs up to all! Earlier than expected too! That a girl Coll, love you cuz! ¢¾ < 339 minutes ago ¡¤ Comment ¡¤LikeUnlike "
You cannot ask for any better in a situation like this. I hope it keeps up like this. Colleen has had such a long wait.

Thanks MaryAZ. My apologies but I've been off line since y'day afternoon.... just catching up.
I am soooooo excited for her! Wow! How to go from 0 to 100 in seconds. She's been waiting for so long; probably thought she'd never get a call, then Bang! Just like that! I'll certainly be following her progress and let's hope it continues to go as well as it did y'day!
We'll be rooting for her!
