Happy to see Katie

Hollis got to see her PCA, Katie, and she was so happy, she lifted her head up by herself! Lots of tears of joy!

One more night in ICU

We'll be in ICU one more night, just for the nursing coverage. Still doing well, but tired and uncomfortable.

A bit queasy and sore

Hollis is waking up more, despite being heavily medicated with Morphine and sedatives. She's definitely feeling some discomfort, but is more annoyed by all the IV lines and drains in her. She was feeling a little nauseous and had some dry heaves, but they gave her some meds for that, and she settled back down. Surgery was very clean and looks good and is draining less and less fluid. A little fever overnight, but it was controlled with Tylenol. Overall, she is doing pretty well, and is resting pretty comfortably.

Looking good

In ICU and Hollis is resting. She looks good and is breathing on her own. Hoping for good night of rest for all.

We're done!

They're done, and everything went well! Waiting for her to be xfd to ICU room.

One hour to go!

They are closing up and say there's about 1 hour left!

She's in...

Hollis went into surgery at 8:15. As always, she was the social butterfly with all the other folks waiting. She definitely had the biggest team of docs among all the kids-it looked like a football huddle! More updates when we have them.
