Hi Karen: I told you I would update you as I could and Faith got back to the floor around 12:30 am here. Teressa told me as she was in the OR during the entire time that Faith had a very hard time because of her lungs. But she was very tired and said she would update you totally in the morning when she comes in.
All I can tell you right now is that we have Faith stabilized and on full life support right now, She is on a respirator for her lungs to have a chance to recover from the sedatives.
She is listed in Critical condition for now and the next 24 to 36 hours will tell the story. But She is strong and a real fighter, so I hope for a good outcome. I just know right now she needs all the love and prayers you can give her. When I was changing her out of her surgical gown she was awake and not real coherent but really got upset when I took her gown and she was pointing and finally I looked and she had your picture pinned inside her gown and when I gave it to her she went back to sleep. She will not let go of it.
That is all I can tell you for now and Teressa will update you more in the morning.
I hope this helps with what Faith wanted you to know.
