Mom started out doing well today. She spent the night in a regular room, and Dad stayed with her. She slept well; she had some water and ice, and sat in a chair for fifteen minutes.
Paul, Lan, & Sofie came down to see her, and while Dad came out to my house, Mom's breathing became difficult. Her stats dropped a bit, and they moved her back to ICU. Now she is back on a ventilator. The ICU doctor said that her lung is a bit compressed from the fluid in her abdomen, and the ventilator should help it to expand to its normal size. Mom is sedated because of the ventilator.
Tomorrow they will take some more fluid from her abdominal cavity, and we expect her to be in ICU for several days. I know this post will concern many of you, but there is so little we can do now--even immediate family--but wait and pray. The Lord is Mom's strength, and he is with her every moment. The Great Physician knows exactly how to heal her body.

Thanks for the update! I'm so sad to hear that today wasn't good. Typically, 2-3 days after surgery are worse than the actual sugery day. I think it is simply part of the healing process. Love you all tons!!!
