Surgery went really well for Rachel....her PDA is now closed!! We saw the xRay and the clip looks good. She did not need a chest tube either.....her vitals are good and she is down to 21% O2 the best she has had in about a week!! Go Rachel Go!

I just called to see how she was doing and she's still resting comfortably!!! They were going to be giving her a little more medication so she doesn't feel pain and continues to rest comfortable. Her incision is not huge, it's about 2 inches long (maybe, I'm not the best at guessing measurments) and underneath her arm.

Although she will be on the vent for a little while still, she was not put on the Ocilator machine so that is s good sign too. They did put in her feeding tube again so feedlings could start as soon as tonight again or tomorrow morning. I don't think she was happy that those stopped!! That's our girl....go for the food!!

thanks everyone for the prayers and happy thoughts for Rachel!!!

Love Rob and Jen
