Hi Everyone-
Today is definitely a day for us to celebrate! Chelsea's incision was completely closed today! We have so much to be grateful for. We have made one week into the journey, Chelsea is completely closed, and no complications to date that were unexpected.
Dr. Soltys said that everything still looks great - absolutely no negatives in his report. Praise God for his continued miracles on Chelsea's behalf! And a big thanks to Dr. Soltys as well! He has been more than incredible!
The gameplan is to keep her under paralytic through the night, then in the morning start to wean her off with increased sedation. She hopefully will have the breathing tube removed sometime tomorrow as well. Then if all goes well, we could be on the regular hospital floor by Monday!
Friends & Family, thank you so much for all the prayers, thoughts, and well-wishes. Christine and Jim, thank you for all the extra effort you are extending on our behalf; at home and with having so many people pray for Chelsea. We love you both very much.
Michael, Happy Birthday! I know that you were hoping that Chels would get through her surgery today successfully and you got your wish! We will take you to Cabo Fish Taco when we get back home to celebrate.
In closing, please continue to have the donor family in your thoughts and prayers. I know this one week marker is also significant for them today as well and our hearts hurt for them.
Bryan & Stayce please let us know if we can send YOU anything! Please we would love to help care for you :). So happy for today's update.
