POST-SURGERY UPDATE #2
Since Helena is still completely sedated, we spent the night away from the hospital. We got back to the hospital earlier this morning. She had a good night last night and her blood oxygen levels have been holding steady. They continue to watch some blood around her right lung that was left over from the surgery. Today's plan will be for Helena to rest and they may take the breathing tube out. The doctors are still debating that one and so they may wait till tomorrow. Once the breathing tube is taken out, she will not be completely sedated. The main concern about her being awake is that she would pull out her IVs or chest tubes. That is the latest around here, more updates to come. Thanks again for all the prayers!

Aaron, Mary and Helena
