Helene's surgery went well

[Nancy]

Hi all-

Helene Smith's surgery went very well. It took 3 hours. The tumor was benign. She went in at 10AM and was out at 1PM.

Dr. DePan did the surgery, the same surgeon who operated on Joe.

I'm happy to report the very good news that Helene was discharged from the hospital today. I spoke with her briefly and she sounded well.

Her surgery was done through her side and groin with the heart port method. I heard that she has a very, very small incision site up top.
