I arrived at the hospital this morning at around 8am. She was still in recovery, however they had just taken the breathing tube out before I arrived, and she was able to talk with out any real trouble. I was able to sit and talk to her for about four hours. Between the incision in her neck, the wound to her arm created to form the esophagus, the skin graph taken from her leg to patch up her arm, she is in a tremendous amount of pain. They anticipate moving her to ICU step down this afternoon, as soon as a bed becomes available. Every thing seems to be going as planned and the new esophagus seems to be thriving. The best news of the day is that the vocal cords were not damaged in the surgery, and she is able to talk.
Please continue to pray for relief from pain, and a speedy recovery.
