Kate is out of surgery!

Today’s surgery lasted 12.5 hours.

She is currently in pediatric intensive care unit.

She came out of the surgery demanding water and leche (milk).

We’re happy to announce that she is grumpy, thirsty, is talking up a storm and being totally Kate.

Basi will stay with Kate tonight in PICU, but it’s going to be a very rough night for the both of them. I’m not sure where I will stay tonight…I’m working on that right now. If Basi doesn’t get a bed/chair, she’s going to have one terrible night in the PICU.

Tomorrow they will check her endocrine functions, her vision, and much more.

If she appears to be stable, they will move her out of the PICU to a regular room in the hospital.

There is so much more to tell, but I’ll let Basi share that news with you all tomorrow. Everyone is tired right now.

Once again, thanks for the prayers for Kate. She’s far from being out of the woods, so she still needs all the prayers she can get.
–Mark (Kate’s dad)
