10-7, Surgery went well, they drained the cyst, removed Gall Bladder, put in a feeding tube. tube will be in for 8 weeks... she will be able to eat some regular food and use the tube if need be? (sounds odd, but that is what we was told).. Will be in hospital for 7 days, Going to have eye specialist come in while she is in hospital and try to figure that out... Obviously NO phone calls to her at this point..

10-8, Paiges sister posted this::::::
We finally were allowed to see Candice Paige Williams last night about 10 pm in ICU. She was in very high spirits & she actually had color and not pale. Her pupils were also at a normal size & no longer dilated. We are hoping that's a good sign & that she will get her eyesight back soon. She has a long road in recovery, but I, along with the rest of the family feel so much better & have high hopes for her. I'll update when I know more.

Our love and prayers to Paige for her complete recovery.

10-8......."""Candice Paige Williams is really doing well. She walked 600 ft today & just talks, talks, talks. LOL All her levels are good & her pain management is under control. She is still in ICU but in the more stable section. She will be moved to a regular room tomorrow & the ophthalmologist will be in to see her tomorrow for her eyesight. Have a good evening & I'll update more tomorrow if there are any changes.

Sanddune, thanks so much for the updates.  I don't know Paige, but I certainly wish her the best.  I know how highly regarded she is on this post.

I haven't been able to spend much time on the forum lately. So sad that Paige has gone through all of this. Glad to hear she's doing better. We'll continue to keep her in our prayers. "All things work to the good of those who love Him." She'll be stronger as a result of this.
Thanks for the updates Sanddune

Went down to see Paige yestarday and today......

She has lost a LOT of weight, very thin and looks pretty poorly.....
she sounds good!,
voice is much stronger than last week,
She was tied to 6 to 8 different "IV'S", pumping different chemical and vitamins into her.
Waiting to get her off the "eperderal" (spelling?) and get tube out of her nose, so they can do MRI on her head to see if they can find out what is wrong with her eyesight.... that should happen in the next 72 hours....
She is talking very positive, ready to get out of there, and get back to seeing shows and going out to the city, BUT it will be a little while before that happens..
With Gall Bladder removal, AND damage to the Panshreas (spell?) she will have an all new diet to contend with..
BUT she is happier now, stronger now, is seeing more colors, and seeing more shapes..... LONG way to go yet, but much better than this time last week!!!

I did give her everyones hellos, regards, and well wishes... She smiled and said thanks to every one.. 
I would expect her to be in the hospital until end of this week..
we will see, I will keep you all in touch....
