Saturday afternoon update on Reagan

Sorry for the delay in updating.  It's been quite a long 36 hours.

After I posted Friday, her condition keep getting worse through out the day.  Nothing was working so at 6:30 last night the doctors with Allen and Jeri Ann made the decision to do emergency surgery.  They did not want to do it because they did not know if she could endure it. 

So with much praying and many tears, she went off to surgery.  WELL PRAISE THE LORD she came through.  She had a twisted colon and a tear which he repaired.  GLORY!

She came out of surgery with "the bag," but the doctor said in about 6-8 weeks they would go back in and reverse it.  Again, PRAISE THE LORD.

Friday night and Saturday is still an hour-by-hour thing.  She has alot of infection that they are continuing to battle.  They had to insert two chest tubes this morning, but she tolerated that better than they were expecting.

She is in chemical coma for a few days.  

Keep praying.  She is in the PICU at Children's Hospital in Birmingham.
