Morning After Update!

There were a few complications in the beginning of Harper's surgery yesterday: one or both (not too sure) of her lungs collapsed when they turned her over to begin the procedure. That delayed the surgery a while, but when the doctors came out, they still counted it as a success. Yesterday afternoon Harper had some complications with her blood pressure, pulse and glucose levels and I asked you to pray that the doctors/nurses would be able to get that under control and that they would be able to get her off the ventilator today. I just got a text from Erin asking ya'll to pray that today would be a productive day. She said that they just had to give her blood pressure medicine again and that it would be probably be tomorrow before the could wein her off the ventilator. Please pray for Erin and Chad. They are both very anxious and can't wait to get Harper out of the cardiac intensive care unit so that they can get her healing process moving along faster. Because Erin is a nurse that works on heart cases almost every day, she knows a lot about Harper's condition and what outcomes/ complications can come out of her surgery. Pray that God can calm their nerves and give them a sense that everything with Harper is going to be okay. The God that we serve is the Great Physician and He can do anything! Now, get to praying!
