Sleepy Girl!!!

Well, it's been a week since Kate's surgery. The last couple days, unfortunately haven't brought too much change again. Kate is slowly progressing but we were told that they will not be pulling her breathing tube until she can show that she can maintain good heart function and blood pressure. Also, she can't leave the ICU until they take her off the breathing tube, the pace maker and a few of her drugs that are helping with the blood pressure. It looks like Kate is telling us that things are going to be on her time not ours or the doctors. The doctors have expressed some concern with the slow progress but they think that because of how extensive and traumatic this surgery is, it will just take more time. So we are being patient..........but we are grateful for her progress.

We were able to take out 2 catheters today....yay!!! I tell ya....Kate is not a fan of having anything on her face, so she will be one happy girl when she gets the breathing tube out. Bryan's brother, John, came up this morning to give Kate a blessing. We are so grateful for the priesthood and its healing powers. What a blessing it has been in our lives.
