POST-SURGERY UPDATE #3
This morning Helena had her chest tubes and breathing tube (ventilator) removed. She has been working hard to breathe today and they are watching some fluid build up in and around her lungs. If things do not improve, they will have to put the breathing tube back in. She is still in the Pediatric ICU and she will have to stay there until she is free of a breathing tube for at least 24 hours. It has been a roller coaster today, but every child recovers at a different rate and has different complications. Thanks for the continued prayers.
