I'm so glad to be able to bring everyone good news after an incredibly long and nerve-racking day. Casey is now in recovery and is awake, alert, and talking! Her mom said she looks good for having had surgery only a few hours ago. Obviously, anyone who knows Casey is not be surprised by this!
She is in a bit of pain due to the operation itself, so they've put her on some morphine. She had a tube down her throat during surgery which is also causing some discomfort in addition to making her really thirsty. I'm sure, however, the morphine is helping with this as well.
At some point tomorrow she'll be moving from the ICU to the normal recovery section of the hospital and will most likely stay there tomorrow night. She has an appointment with the doctor around 9 a.m. tomorrow, so be sure to check back for an update.
Again, I know Casey and her family and friends appreciate the outpouring of love and support they've received. Please keep praying and sending positive energy her way as she begins her journey of recovery.
