Update

Doctor Sagar came in yesterday and said that the CT Scan shows a little fluid on one of Julie's lungs. This could be a very small sign of rejection or something from her old lungs. The amazing thing is that they are not very concerned about it. It's stable and hasn't gotten any worse and is not showing up in other lab numbers. The family is finally starting to feel the tired set in and so we've been a little delayed in updates. Manny was able to leave in the afternoon yesterday because he said he had "something to do that he couldn't share yet"....such a loving hubby who still looks to put a smile in his wife's eyes! Amy also was able to break away Friday by gifting the girls with an amazing and much needed day at Disneyland. They are still smiling cheeck to cheeck. She was also able to go watch her boys perform in their Pirates of Penzance play but then very faithfully returned to sleep with her Jewel last night. Julie spent the whole afternoon
and evening with her dad at the hospital and loved every minute if it!! We learned that we never clarified about Julie's use of oxygen. She has not been on it but maybe 2 times since surgery for about 30 mins each time. Julie can not wait to get in here and explain the MANY ways that God has showed HIS MIGHTY hand in all of this. She has, since the second she got the call, heard worship music in her head continuously!! She would often in ICU tell us that the neighbors were reading the Bible or playing worship music or would ask us to turn up the music we were listening to. Julie has felt the miracle of healing through all of this. Doctors and Nurses are repeatedly expressing how amazingly well Julie's recovery has been. They keep commenting that her lungs are perfect and that she is doing great for sugery having been so recent. Her stumbles have been, according to them, minor and many nurses don't get why they just don't let her come home.
There are two brother Doctors (the Sagar's) and one tends to be more layed back and say "you're fine and we'll just keep watching that"....while the other is mote cautious and says "we need to check that more and watch you here"...the one that came in today is the more strict one and he finally said "you are doing amazing and I'm not too concerned so we'll look at sending you home Monday or Tuesday". Julie quickly pleaded for Monday with him and let him know mother to father how great it would be to get home and be with her girls. He chuckled and said he'd really put that into consideration. We will update soon again! Have a blessed morning!
