Kaitlyn did well overnight. She was on the ventilator the whole time and was heavily sedated. This morning they took the ventilator out and took her off sedation. She now just has a nasal cannula that is giving her some extra oxygen. She is still groggy but is doing well breathing on her own. They will monitor her for a while here in the PICU and hopefully if all is well, she will be transferred to a normal hospital room. We feel like we can now breathe a sigh of relief that the surgery went well and that she is off the ventilator. We know that once she is fully coherent, it will be difficult for her pain-wise and in understanding what is going on. We are so thankful for everyone who has left us messages and has been praying for Kaitlyn. It has meant so much to us and has made a difference. We are hopeful that her stay here will continue to go smoothly. She is definitely a trooper!
