OK - had to pick up Carlee and take Mac to skating. More on the situation. As I was saying about her heart: when the heart has been handled like it has been during surgery, sometimes there are problems with the timing...it may beat fast, may beat slow, or the beat may be irregular. After a while it clears up, but that may take some time. WE are going to have to keep a close eye on her while the situation clears...if there is anythig out of the ordinary, we have to get her to the doctor or call the squad if it is too severe.

Lost about 4 paragraphs because %$#@ Microsoft decided to force my computer to shut down and do an update. I'm going to give some info and that's all for tonight.

Got a call from her nurse around 6PM. Lynn is doing very well. She was conscious enough that she was able to respond to commands from the nurse, but kept on dropping off to sleep. She is still working the anaesthesia out of her system, and it takes a while. Blood work is good, and she is not showing any signs of bleeding through the chest tube.

Just got another call - 10PM - situation the same. She is still too groggy to get the respirator out, but that is not unusual. Blood counts are all still very good, so once the drugs wear off some more and she is off the respirator, she will be better yet.
