Out of Surgery with Little Information

Heather is out of surgery and seems to be doing well. They told us she would be in surgery for two to three hours. We went to lunch for an hour and a half, and when we got back she was already out of surgery and back in her room. So, we missed being able to talk to the doctor about how it all went. She seems comfortable, and it appears that they did the homografts. She has already been able to get enough air around her new tracheostomy tube to make some vocal sounds. She is too tired and weak post surgery to see if she will be able to talk when off the ventilator, but it seems very likely.

I will post again when I have more information about how the surgery went.
