... the rest of the story... The surgery did go very well. Dr. Fussell told Alexis this morning that 350 praying made a world of difference they could feel.

At the end of the surgery they noticed mucus plugging that needed to be cleared from one of the bronchial tubes and they cleared that with a bronchial probe. All seemed to be well and they started to wake her up. Suddenly an asthma episode hit and they had to act fast.

By the time they notified me she had already been put on a ventilator and was being moved to ICU. Such a shock, and no explanation yet for why it happened.

This time the ICU staff said it was their goal to get her off the tube as quickly as possible.. and they did! What a HUGE relief to see her sitting up breathing better than before, just 5 hours later. 

Today is a day of observation and maybe some new direction. If she is released it will be late.

We are a Grateful Grateful family.. Grateful to God for His mighty hand in Alexis' life.

May you have a Blessed Thanksgiving!!
