Stent is in...ready to work!


Renee's surgery was successful this morning and she did great!!! Dr. Maurice was able to place the stent into her lung to help bring in oxygen and hopefully allow the pneumonia to release from her left lung. Unfortunately, the tumor has been compressing her left lung extensively...so the procedure was critical. Dr. Maurice said that Renee did not bleed very much during the surgery, which we were very concerned about because her platelet counts are very low.


With all of the prayers, positive thoughts, and high energy Renee has once again blessed us all with her courage. She will be watched carefully over the next 24 to 48 hours to monitor her lung, breathing, and reaction to the stent. Renee is very anxious to get back to the 8th floor with her "peeps"!


Please continue to hope, pray, and BELIEVE!


With love,

Sabrina
