Lisa went back to the OR today for repairs to take care of her remaining chest tube leakage. Since Lisa had already undergone laproscopic surgery to repair this same thing about a week and a half ago, the doctors decided this time around that they would try a different approach and do an incision to make the repair. Dr. Crabtree and his team took their time in making the repair and even waited some time afterwards to watch for any leakage before calling the surgery complete and, hopefully, successful. There will still need to be a "wait and see" period for at least the next day or so before they can say with 100% certainty that the repairs have taken care of this problem once and for all. So, we would appreciate everyone's continued prayers as we all know how powerful prayer can be. Here's hoping that this surgery today has removed the last barrier to Lisa's recovery and discharge from the hospital.
