Launa’s heart surgery was a success! She had a great night last night, slept many hours but this morning she was having a pain in her neck so assume maybe wrong position on the pillow or just the effects of all the drugs she had going into surgery wearing off.
She was up yesterday and did a little walk down the hall and spending time sitting in a chair which is the protocol for open heart surgery to prevent pneumonia and blood clotting.
She will have good and bad days now for quite some time as this is not an over night healing process. Many months ahead yet for healing.
She will be in ICU for at least one more day and then to a recovery room in the hospital. She has nothing but praise for the hospital and the nurses and doctors in house there so that in itself is comforting. My gracious thanks for all prayers lifted up for Launa. My whole family is just amazed at all the love and prayers for their Mom.
