Elizabeth did well in surgery. Dr. Cotton was able to take a piece of rib from her right side, going in thru the old scar from back when she was 3 years old. That way she won't have an extra scar. He grafted the rib into the front of her airway. She is in a lot of pain. She keeps waking up in pain and asking for more meds. THe nurse put in a request to put Elizabeth on a pain med drip so she doesn't have to keep asking for meds.
Elizabeth has been writing notes to me on a dry erase board. She gets upset when I can't read her writing. She is very thirsty, but she can't drink anything just yet with the breathing tube in. She also has a feeding tube in place.
She is sleeping right now. Here are some pics:

Please tell Elizabeth that I am glad to hear that surgery went well. I am glad to hear that she is doing well, a little irritated I am sure, but hopefully it will not last long.

Thank God she's OK. How long in ICU? Can't wait to see her! Love to you all. Theresa
Hi Trish,
Was waiting for good news! You must all be relieved and she must feel miserable, but hopefully it is now just a matter of recovery. We continue to pray for her comfort and your patience.
God bless,
