Later by phone Bev told me that in the process of intubating Karla ( anesthesia ) for surgery, Karla had a cardiac arrest; so unfortunately Karla's surgery for today did not take place!!
Karla is in the Intensive Care Unit at the University of Chicago-Weiss Memorial Hospital; and the important issue is that she is expected to recover from this attempt at surgery today. Bev said, " Karla is in need of prayer more then I ever realized!!!!! "
It is expected that Karla will be in the hospital for at least a week. It is now, International Adhesions Society members and friends, that Karla is going to need our prayers, our Get Well wishes...and most of all our encouragement and support!!
Until I have been giving a different address for Karla, her address is:
Karla Nygren University of Chicago-Weiss Memorial Hospital 4646 N. Marine Drive Chicago, IL 60640
