Expected Complications..Recovery Day 2
Katie had some difficulty during the night. Her lungs have begun to fill with fluid. She is now on oxygen with a concentrator and her head is elevated. This seems to have helped some. She is now having bleeding in her stomach. They have stopped the NG tube from pulling fluid from her stomach. They will check how much fluid they can pull out at about 2. If not much comes out then they will take the NG tube out. They also changed her acid reflux medication to help control the bleeding her her stomach. She is in some more pain so they are increasing her epidural medication. Her blood pressure has improved so that is a good thing. Her heart rate has went down but is still elevated. Please keep her body in your prayers. I did get to go sleep at the Ronald McDonald house last night and William will go take a nap there for a couple of hours. Thank God for sleep! Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us, called, and helped us in so many ways. We appreciate you more than words can express.

We are praying for Katie. I know He is sitting beside her and taking good care of her. Her body is working hard to overcome the surgery and it's doing it's job. We have to be patient and trust in the Lord. I'm glad to hear that you & William are getting some rest. Your friend Margaret Foster.
