We have just talked to the Peace Corps medical officer, and Jenn is doing fine after her surgery. She had to have a blood transfussion (the doctor assured us that they screen the blood for hiv, malaria, hepititas, etc. by the same standards as American hospitals) and that helped her alot. She had a big smile for him when he arrived, and is able to sit up for short periods at a time.
She will be in intensive care for several days, and then in the hospital, eventually moving to an apartment near the Peace Corps headquarters, where they will set her appointments for her and take her to them.
Her mom, aunt and uncle are planning to leave Tuesday afternoon and go to see her, so they should be there on Wednesday some time and we will have more information. Jenn's throat is sore from the tube inserted for anasthesia, so she won't be able to talk to us for a couple of days.
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers - they mean a lot to us and Jenn.
