Well the surgery went well and now it's recovery time. We're still not out of the woods yet but the first big step is over with. She might be in recovery for up to a month but that all depends on how well she does. Right now we're waiting on when they'll close her chest back up. With all the swelling they had to keep her open. Its the craziest thing I've ever seen. Dr. Hammel was hoping this Monday but they also said it could take up to a week or two also.
Anyway, as for Jackie and I we're doing well. We got to see the BIG kids today and that was a blast. It's been about a week since we saw them last. Last week we tried to go see them but as soon as we pulled into the driveway we found out that Payton was sick. So unfortunately we had to turn around and head back to Omaha. Right now the plan is to hang around Omaha until Hayden's chest closes. After that we'll start taking turns going back home and trying to make a somewhat normal life for the other kids again.
So keep praying for a speedy recovery for Hayden and hopefully we'll bring her home soon.

How are things going?
Hey, Ryan. I hadn't checked your blog in a while so had no idea what you've been dealing with. My prayers are with you and yours.
Best,
Robb
Things are going well. Her chest is closed and it sounds like the breathing tube is coming out today. Hopefully by next week its all about eating and growing.
