Closing to Recovery, 8:25 PM

The Family Waiting Area at Overlake Hospital has a large TV monitor scrolling surgery patients' current status.  A patient's status begins at "Check-In" through all of the steps to "Complete." 

Since we've been in the Waiting Room, John's status has been "Procedure in Progress." 

A few minutes ago John's status changed to "Closing to Recovery."  This means that John's surgery is nearing completion and he will be moved to the recovery area when finished.

We expect to talk with John's surgeon soon.

Prior to surgery, we were told that John would be in recovery for about 1.5 hours before we'd be able to see him again.
