Rhiana Update

Hi everyone, thank you so much for your prayers. Rhiana’s surgery went well. She went to the operating room just after 8am and returned to us around 6.30 pm. She is not allowed to move yet and is well dosed up with morphine. She has slept nearly the whole time since the surgery. The surgeons were very pleased with the way things went. Dr Fabregas who performed the spinal fusion says that he has managed to reduce the curve from around 78 degrees to 34 degrees. That will be a very significant improvement for Rhiana. She has a few slight issues at this time, she has a slightly high temperature, her heart rate is also too high and her breathing is erratic. We value your prayers regarding these issues and also for Rhiana’s mobility and pain level when she gets moving again.
