Surgery is over - post seven
Well, everything went as it was supposed to and the operation is over. They are now waking her back up and will hopefully be removing the breathing tube before moving her to her room upstairs. We will get to see her in about an hour. Dr. Hillman said the ring was pretty tight so it's good that it has been removed and he saw an immediate difference in her esophagus. The trachea will take a little longer to expand because it is made of cartilage. Amber's asthma has hopefully been cured :)
