Recovery

Emma is recovering nicely from her heart surgery on Tuesday. The first 24 hours were rough, but that was to be expected. She had a large team around her for the first 12 hours or so and they were working hard. Her biggest issue was her blood pressure following the surgery. That is under control now though. She is still on high oxygen, but that is about it. They are slowly weaning her off of the multiple medicines that she is on. She is still heavily sedated and not moving at all. I am unsure when they will allow her to start moving again. We got to see all of her new tubes, wires, and incisions yesterday. She looks a little scary right now, but they did a great job with the surgery and will have minimal scarring. There will still be some more ups and downs, but it looks like we are out of the woods. More updates to come.

Yea! Praise God. I am so glad things are going smoothly after the surgery. You, Alissa and Emma will continue to be in our prayers and our thoughts.
