Journal entry by Kaitlyn Chaffee —
Just had my phase 2 yesterday for my reconstruction. I unfortunately had some complications and ended up in the ICU for the night. My larynx spasmed while they were removing the breathing tube and my lungs had filled with fluid which caused me to stop breathing. I had to be connected to a breathing machine for most of the night because when I would doze off my oxygen would drop drastically.
Today my lungs are almost fully clear, my body feels like I was hit by a train but I get to go home.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me through this journey. If you would like to help assist me in paying off my medical debt from the last surgery and this one, anything would help. I will be reactivating my GoFundMe me pages when I get home. If everyone just donated $5-$10 it would help so much!!!
Thank you everyone for all the prayers and good juju!! I love you all!
