Britney's off ECMO (Bypass)

The heart surgeon just talked to me and Casey. Britney did great and was just fine when they took her off ECMO!!! Her woulds are all closed and she is doing well on the ventilator. She will get a tracheotomy in a few days. Then they can start to cut down on the sedation medications and wake her up more. She will be in the Cardiac ICU in a few minutes. Thank you all for your extra prayers today.

  14. Great news! Sorry I missed your call last night. We'll continue to pray for God's blessings for Britney and your family. All my office staff and family are praying and following Britney's progress. Hopefully God continues to show his mercy with the tremendous outpouring of prayers for Britney's recovery. Hang in there! First day of residency tomorrow? Or do you get to delay your start time?
