Long night

Ryan ended up going down to the OR at 1:30pm. She didn't return until 10:30pm. The actual procedure went well. The problem was when they took her off bypass, she lost her heart rate. At one point they were performing CPR and dumping EPI into her. We were told by our nurse and ICU Doctor to prepare for the worst. Well, she turned a corner and she is still here up in our room. We are by no means out of the woods but she is stable and slowly heading in the right direction. They did have to leave her chest open to give room for swelling. We hope to close the chest in 3 to 4 days. Thanks for prayers, Jared
