Yeah. They started the surgery a little while ago and

they said they'd let us know if anything happens, so...

But Eileen also talked to the

doctor for a few minutes.

Ill let her know to talk to you.

Okay. Alright, Ill be right over there with Dave.

Ill let her know.

And she knows what's going on with Cody, right?

Because I don't really know anything.

I don't know how bad it was or

what they're trying to fix now, or anything.

Nurse Edwards will talk to you about all that.

Or the doctor, can I talk to him now?

Not right now.
