Natalie's surgery, scheduled for 8AM started a half hour early this morning. Doctor's found a small hole in her bladder that they said will heal on its own in a few weeks. Other than that, the surgery was a success, eliminating the risk of infection in that area.
Natalie's facial expressions continued today as doctors raised her morphine drip to calm her down and ease the pain.
Doctors also put an air cast on Natalie's left ankle as a precaution. This is the ankle that Orthopedists repaired during the pelvic surgery.
Keep your comments coming as we know Nat will surely read them when she is able!

My thoughts and prayers are out to Natalie and her family. Its wonderful to hear that she is improving daily. I was never really close with Natalie but I graduated with Kyle and played on the basketball team with him. I remember visiting once for Natalie's b-day party her senior year and had a great time. You have a wonderful family. Good luck with everything that follows.
