Ivard was operated on this morning
Sent letter to Mother & Lyle.
Ray & Jerry went to work & I spent all morning writeing to Mother.
The Dr. hadn't called by 11: to tell me what they'd found out so I called his office & the nurse said, "why he's over to Boise operating," I said, "He'd better not be, they never let me know." She said to hang up & she'd call & see what she could find out. She called up & said they had & they were just finishing up & the Dr. would call me in a few min. He did & said it was a missunderstanding, he thought I knew. He said Dr. Robert Smith, a specialist had operated & that Ivard was fine. They took out is dodum, completely blocked from stomache to intestine, they made a new opening out of part of Instestine. Also took out a nerve & he won't have ulcers any more. He said he would be out of recovery room about 2: so Jerry, Dale & I went to Boise & Jerry took Dale Xmas shopping while I waited to see Ivard, they brought him to his room about 2:45. He looked good & said he felt a lot better with tube out of his nose. They were feeding him interveinsly. He was doped but he'd come out & talk every once in awhile. I wrote Lyle while I sat there. Jerry came & stayed awhile they wouldn't let Dale in. We left at 6: & went to "Murrys" & had shake, fries & hamberger. Came home at 7: & Jerry & Kids wrapped Presents. I watched T.V. relief society brought us an order of food.
