The first hours of recovery

Ashlynn came through surgery very well.  Her plastic surgeon was happy with how well the palate and lip came together.  We were able to join her soon after surgery in recovery.  She looked better than we expected.  She has been sleeping most of the afternoon.  The nurses are working hard to keep her pain until control.  She lets us know when it's time for the next round of pain meds but overall she's tolerating it all pretty well.  She has been running a fever that's a bit higher than we'd like so they've done a chest x-ray to check for any fluid on the lungs.  We are now waiting to hear if anything more is needed.  While it's a little concerning and certainly only adds to Ashlynn's discomfort, we are hopeful they'll get it figured out soon.

Thanks for all the prayers that have been sent out way today.  Please continue to pray that Ashlynn's fever subsides and she is able to sleep comfortably.
