Update 4
The surgery is complete. She has moved from anesthetic recovery to surgical recovery and now to surgical ICU. We are now waiting in the NICU (neurological intensive care unit) waiting room for word we can go, back and visit. The report from the nurse is “awake, orientating and nauseous with really bad morning breath.” OK, I embellished the morning breathe part. Call it an "educated guess". The nausea part is true and can be expected after a 10+ hour procedure. I’ll update more as we are able to visit with her.

Jen and your family have been in our prayers and thoughts so much this week. You are right about Jen being a friend to everyone she meets. I can remember showing Mrs. Rhodes my class list and the first thing she said was, "You're going to love Austin's mom." With our first meeting I knew Jen was someone who I would "hit it off with" right away. She has such a positive outlook on life. This will help to carry her through the difficult time ahead. Thank you for the updates...they mean so much to so many.
