Surgery Update

We have talked to the surgeon. Emma did very well during the surgery. She did not drop her oxygen level at all which is a good sign. She has a moderate amount of lung tissue on the left side of her lung where her bowel was. Ranging from best to worst with this condition Emma should be in the best category. The other concern was Emma's bowel and whether everything was in the right place. He said everything is located where it should be. He thinks she will be on the ventilator for 4 days to 2 weeks but this is better than the 3 weeks it usually is. But, her hospital stay will still probably be another 3 weeks at least do to all the things she has to accomplish before she goes home. The anesthesiologist also came by and said she did very well. The gortex patch is attached to her rib because it was in the back where most of her diaphragm was missing. Just everyone please continue to pray for a healthy recovery.
