Quick update. Rachel continues to progress in her recovery. They may even take two of the three chest tubes out later today. She sat-up in the bed for a total of an hour which helped dumped out some of the fluid into the chest tubes. She is more alert and awake and she hasn't had to have a whole lot of medication for pain.
She did run a slight fever of around 100.4 during the night and she is currently being treated for a bacteria infection; hoever, these are not uncommon after such a major surgery. Both the surgeon and the team of doctors aren't too worried about the fever/infection at this point and if they aren't worried, we aren't worried.
Yesterday, she wanted to see her incision so Tammy took a picture of it and showed it to her in which Rachel gave a thumbs-up!
Please continue to pray for the recovery to go as it is suppose to and also keep a little boy name Noah in your prayers as he is waiting for his new heart and also a little 4 1/2 month baby girl.
