Kate was closed up today

Just a quick post today. Kate's chest was closed this morning. From what we were told, it went as smoothly as it possibly could. She looks much better and her swelling has gone down quite a bit. She is still encountering irregular heart rhythm and blood pressure and is still hooked up to many many tubes and machines. We have been tempted to post a picture that shows everything but have restrained. So far so good, she still needs to make progress before she will leave the ICU.
