This morning finds me reporting to you from Kaitlyn's hospital room. The surgery is over and she is recovering nicely. We arrived right on time yesterday....9:00 a.m. and reported to Admissions. Soon after we were on the second floor in Pre-Op. Surgery was scheduled for 11ish but didn't actually happen until the afternoon. The nursing staff got her prepped and they wheeled her down to the operating room around 12:45. The staff at Clarian is great and they kept us posted thru out the procedure on how things were going. By 3:30 they were telling us she was in recovery and after talking to Dr. Kennedy, Brad and I were able to see her.
She, of course, was still pretty out-of-it but was alert enough to know we were with her and that the procedure was over. Not too long after that they wheeled her upstairs to her room and got her settled in. She has done remarkably well and is, for the most part, in good spirits. Glad to have this part of the process behind her. She's been around the proverbial block this morning for a nice walk thru her ward and even has managed a shower. If everything goes well, she'll be sprung from this place this afternoon.
She'll leave with a couple of drain tubes still in and I will be responsible for maintaing those until they are ready to come out. I'm sure she will be thrilled to be back home in her own bed. Hopefully, at that point she will be able to blog again. Until then, thanks for all the prayers that went up for her yesterday. We continue to be blessed by you all.
Peace, Love and Hope,
Lisa
I am starting this blog to give my phone and mind a break :) Though I truly appreciate all the love and support I have received over the past couple of weeks, I am feeling a little overwhelmed with it also. So I wanted to have a place where I could update everyone on whats going on and you would have a place to write me comments of love and encouragment.

Your sense of humor cracks me up ... The Uniboob Chronicles! Nicely done :) Continued prayers and thoughts for all of you from the Murphy household, where it has finally decided to not be summer any longer.
I am so glad the day has brought you a shower and a sense of humor. Hope you get released this afternoon and can sleep in your bed tonight. Hopefully there was some food given to you at some time. Wish I could be there at Camp Thomas but you have enough campers for now. Will come see you soon. Love you and keep the faith.
