Out of the OR

Dr. St. Louis decided to go ahead and do the repairs and restructuring on Lynnea's heart today. He talked to us about an hour ago telling us that he was finished working on her, and that they will be moving her up to the PICU sometime soon (she's not here yet). He said that everything went well, but, just like last night, she will be watched very closely, and they will continue to give her blood for as needed. We won't really know how things turned out until after some of the drugs they used during the surgery wear off, and until she stabilizes again. During this surgery, they had to place her on the heart-lung machine again, and her heart was completely stopped for about 20 minutes. Even though all of the news today so far has been good, we will, of course, continue to worry until she is stable. Please continue to pray for Lynnea as she struggles through this time.
