Noon: Olivia's surgery is complete. They are stitching her up. She will not have staples in her chest like last time; only dissolving stitches and a bandage covering.
No complications during surgery! Over the next two hours the hospital staff will wean Olivia off her anesthetic, take out her air tube, maintain pain meds as necessary, give her a sponge bath, and keep her as comfortable as possible. We'll meet with the surgeon soon and be able to see her within that two hours.
I'll see her first just to get a feel for whether Amy will be able to handle it right away. Last time Amy almost passed out because she is quite a sight: tubes, IVs, beeping machines, a ventilator, swollen appearance, and the like. She should be awake for a bit today. though.

Praise God for the good report! I can only imagine how relieved you and Amy are that Olivia has her "pink" color this time! We are keeping you ALL in prayer for Olivia's speedy recovery and return home. I know she'll be thrilled to see Samuel and her sisters again!
We love you,
Mom and Dee
