It took a couple hours to bring Katie up to the ICU from recovery. We were able to see her in the hall before they took her to her ICU room. She looks a lot better without the 50 wires coming out of her head. Her head is still all bandaged up and she is laying flat on her back. She's conscious but very, very sleepy. That is actually a good thing for her and for us.
Bro. Cliff Christman and his wife, Tracy, drove up from Kentucky yesterday. They came to the hospital early this morning and spent the day with us and other family members. If anyone can get a smile out of Katie at this point, it is Bro. Christman; and she did smile when she saw him. Katie really likes Bro. Christman.
We anticipate that the swelling will happen like it did after the 1st operation, and that the 2nd and 3rd days will be pretty bad. However, it will only be temporary. She will be in ICU through tomorrow morning, then be transferred up to the 5th floor again. The estimated discharge from the hospital right now is Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
We're praying that Katie will have a restful night.
Thanks again for all the prayers and comments. I have received e-mails from a lot of people. I have been reading them. Thank you all for understanding that I am not able to respond to each one. Know, however, that each one is received with much gratitude!

I totally understand. I smile every time I see Brother Christman as well. You can interpret that as you will.
Thank you Brother for the continued reports of Katie's condition. I know that you have a million other things to think about. Our people have been checking in regularly to see how things are going. My God use this occasion to restore many to faith in prayer!

Thank you for sharing Katie's condition. It helps in knowing what to pray for and how to pray. I know that it's not just Katie, that needs prayer, but Mom & Dad as well, that God will give you the strength to go through everything and to help Katie in all that she has to go through.
