_____________________________________________________________________________________ Received Tuesday, July 20, 2010 Mary Richards had surgery today at DePaul Hospital. They removed a polyp from her colon. They would rather remove the polyp this way than with a colonoscopy which is the way it is usually done. The doctor feels that this was the safest way to remove the polyp and they already knew that the polyp is not cancer.
She came through the operation and is resting. It looks like everything is okay. They will keep her over night and if all goes well, she should be able to come home either late tomorrow or Thursday.
Cards can be sent to 6351 Tappahannock Drive Norfolk, VA 23509
I am sure by Friday, she should be up to phone calls: 757-961-5692
As I know more information, I will let you know

swelling goes down. She will be in the hospital and then the rehabilitation

stay long. Prayers would definitely help. She liked the card I
gave her.
