Status Update-- Wednesday, February 18

Today, Caitlin crossed another hurdle. 

She has her own room in UKMC ICU.  She's starting to look more like herself because the swelling continues to recede.  She remained heavily sedated and likely was unaware when we went in to visit.

Tomorrow, the surgeons hope to begin the process of suturing her incisions; if not tomorrow, the next day.

And especially heartening is their hope that they may be able to remove her from the ventilator.

She is extremely jaundiced, but we are told that is to be expected.  She is under the care of a wonderful medical team.

Her vital signs remain good.
