DECEMBER 19–3:48am

Caitlin has come out of the OR to her room at the ICU where the team is working to keep her stable. Right now, her biggest problem is her liver. It’s not functioning and needs support. The liver can take a lot of trauma and turn around so we have to hope that’s going to happen here. We can’t have a failing liver, or she will fail.

Her chest is open and covered with a rubber membrane because of the swelling. In a few hours, they will take her back to the OR to clean this area up a bit.

She’s got a lot of swelling and bruising.

So, lungs, heart, kidneys are okay and manageable.

LIVER needs all the help it can get.

  1. Ok. The prayers and light all directed to her liver now, and to all of you as you await the healing, with all our love.
