Update on Katie's Surgery

Katie did great in her surgery. We were admitted last night around 6pm. They put in an IV to give her IV antibiotics and gave her a Hibicleanse bath to get her extra clean. We finally passed out around 11:30 pm but were up again at 5:30 am for another bath. We had to wait to go to surgery until 1:30pm because an ICU trauma patient needed to get the same procedure done first. Katie's surgery started about 2:24 pm and was done before 3:30 pm. Everything went really well. The doctor said that she blocked off the arteries to about 2/3 of Katie's spleen. After surgery, they took Katie to recovery until about 6:15 pm. We finally got up to ICU around 6:30 pm. She is in room C12-256 for now. Hopefully, everything keeps going well and she will be transferred to a general pediatrics floor within 24 hours. I will send out more updates as I can. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.
