Heather is out of surgery. We haven't talked with the surgeons yet (apparently they tried to find us, but we were in the wrong waiting room). They will find us later to give us the full scoop, but from what I can see (sitting next to her) and from what the nurse has told me she is doing really well. In fact, she is doing better than she was last night. She looks more like herself than ever (i.e., the swelling is going down), her heart rate is at 89 (It hasn't been below 110 in days), her blood pressure is at 125/74 (normal is 120/80), she is not taking any heart medications, and they are only giving her 40% oxygen.
All I know about the surgery is that they did reconnect her bowel and they washed out her abdomen again. I will try to post again when I know more, but I'm thrilled with the news I'm getting!!!!
