We're home!

She is doing better and was released from hospital after surgery yesterday. The pink membrane has grown over the rib. The only problem the docs see is some granulation tissue that formed. For now they don't think it will interfere with her breathing, but if it should grow more, she will notice some trouble breathing and we will make the trip back down to Cincinnati to have it removed. Dr. Cotton wants her to try jogging next week to see how the airway holds up with exertion. That makes me a little nervous, but that is why she had the surgery. She couldn't run or get winded before the surgery because the one wall of the trachea would collapse, so now it is supposed to stay strong and not collapse. We shall see.

Praise God. Could we have expected less as the surgery was during the Divine Mercy hour? We are keeping you all, esp. Elizabeth lifted in prayer. Love in Christ, Blaszak Family
