Bronchoscopy


 
Little update from Mary's texts...

The procedure was delayed a little bit, but they finished at about 3:30-ish. We won't know anything for 3 days or so. She's okay but was still groggy when I received the text that she was in recovery. She was told that she needed to rest for the remainder of the day.

I just now (4:40p.m. Eastern) received a text saying that she would be staying overnight at the hospital. 

Turns out that sometimes during the procedure air gets in the lungs. So now they are inserting a tube in her lungs to pull the air out. They'll keep it in for 12 hours (I think). They said it's not uncommon, but they're gonna keep her in to make sure the air has been removed.  She also has a really bad headache (which we think is a caffeine headache) so she's drinkin' a Coke to help with that.

Please pray that she rests well and that whatever they discovered can be treated or, even better, that it's nothing to worry about.

Very thankful that Mary was able to be with her today. 

And, very thankful that you are all pullin' for Laura.

We love you.

Please keep me informed. I I have been praying for Laura- and will keep doing so. Thank you, Carrie, for keeping her blog updated! Kathy Mellette (Laura's friend from her days in Louisville, Ga).
