In Recovery

Just a quick update. Christen went into recovery at 2:35 PM, and Debbie and I got to go into the recovery room with her at 4:05 PM. She is doing quite well. She is awake, talking, smiling, and generally making her parents quite happy to see her. :-) Praise God for His mercy. They are working very hard to manage her pain but it is quite high. They will hook her up to a pain pump soon. They are currently preparing to give her a blood transfusion since she lost quite a bit during surgery (not unexpected). She should be able to get out of the recovery area and up to her room within an hour or so.

Thanks again for all your prayers! God has been so merciful to her and us!

Steve & Debbie
