I have heard from several of you who have been anxiously awaiting an update from Vicki's surgery. The happenings of the day have been very emotionally draining and I was purposely waiting until things stabilized before updating the blog.
The doctors were able to repair Vicki's left hip, but due to swelling during surgery (nothing unusual) they were not able to repair the right hip or right arm. They also discovered that her right ankle was fractured. After returning her to her room in ICU she took a turn for the worse - she went into cardiac arrest. The physicians and nurses responded quickly and appropriately to this crisis. Vicki is now stable (given the circumstances), but in very critical condition. Her visitors have been limited now to immediate family only. We continue to remain by her side constantly. We know that Vicki and the family have been blessed and strengthened by the many prayers that have been spoken on her behalf. Though this day has been more than difficult, we have felt the encircling love of our Father in Heaven and our Savior Jesus Christ.
Aaron is truly humbled by the outpooring of support, meals and love that has been provided by so many. We could never thank you enough for all you've done. Even though this day has been so very difficult, as I sit here by Vicki's bedside watching her rest, I am overwhelmed at the thought of the many blessings I have in my life (Vicki is certainly one of them). I encourage each of you to do the same - count your blessings and express gratitude to our Father in Heaven for all he has done.
