We were told to expect it to take two or three attempted surgeries to close Lauren's sternum and her chest, but again God had other plans! She is just waking up from surgery, her own beating heart in her chest, and all closed up!
The nurses and doctors are in the process of trying to find the perfect balance of sedation and wakefulness to keep her heart rate and blood pressure in a comfortable and safe zone. Please pray for continued attentiveness on the part of the nurses and doctors, stability throughout the night, and that tomorrow they are able to get air back into her left lung.
Praise God! I don't think I've have said that as many times as I have throughout this journey with Lauren. God is good, and he is the Great Physician.
