Hey all! I just heard from Amanda's best friend, and she's doing great! Here is the email that was sent:
Hey all... jus wanted to let you all know that Amanda is out of surgery and doing fine....she went in to surgery at bout 12:00pm and the doc came and told us she was out and in recovery at bout 3:15pm. We were then told we could see her in bout an hour, the hour past and nothing...we had the nurse call and found out it would be half an hour to see her. The sugery by the way was a complete sucess. All went by the book and was fine.
An hour after that went by and at 5:15 or so we could go in and see her......why the wait.....well we found out afterwords that due to the heavy dose of pain meds given to her, her breathing went down below the safty line, so they kept her on the oxygen, boosted it up and kept an eye on her....alll was good after bout an hour or so......Her oxygen level should have been between 90-96 and she dropped to 82%...at 80% they make the dession to put the person on a ventalator...but SHE IS DOING FINE NOW....she is at an o2 level of 98 with only a lil assistance of a machine....jus oxygen in through her nose...so all is good.
