Thank you to all the notes, well wishes, prayers and thoughts you've shared with us. Makenzie is recovering well, we just got the ventilator removed around 6:30. She's a little out of sorts, but her numbers are all solid which is wonderful to see.
She still has two chest tubes in, for drainage, but the preliminary xrays and ultrasound looked very good. We hope that the recovery continues to be smooth, and we are hopeful for good results on scheduled tests tomorrow am.
We're finally able to relax a little bit, after a stressful afternoon of trying to keep her calm until the ventilator could be removed. We'll try to bring the camera tomorrow so we can get a couple of shots posted.

Great news! You are in our thoughts and prayers Makenzie! Can't wait to see your smiling little lips hopping and skipping our way again.

Jake and Heidi,
This is wonderful news! We know those very first hours post-op are SO critical and stressful! We pray that the most difficult hours are over---and the recovery ahead continues to progress smoothly! We pray that there be minimal swelling and fluid in the chest so that those tubes can be taken out swiftly! The next big milestone! Todd & Susan
Hope today is going well. I know she can be crabby post surgery - understandably!
Tyler was up a little earlier today. He is doing great.
See you tomorrow!
