surgery update for trauma dragon



Abi came out of surgery a little while ago, as far as we know she is doing just fine. However we have not been able to see her yet. They closed her abdominal wall but left the skin open. The surgery was shorter than they anticipated. Abi is being cleaned up and stabilized and then we will be able to go in and see her.

Dave wants you to know that if you are going to come in and see everyone this weekend please remember it is a holiday and that downtown will be closed up for the parade. You might want to take a detour.

Matt got a tattoo while Abi was in surgery. He tattooed around his arm the words "Trauma Dragon". He got it in purple. Trauma Dragon is Abi's code name  at the hospital. If we ask to go back to see her they don't know her by her name Abi, they only know her by the name Trauma Dragon.

It sounds like she is getting better every day! From the few times I met and hung out with Abi she seemed like a very strong woman. I am sure that she will continue to get better every day and that she will back in full force sooner than you think! Keeping you and your family in my prayers!

Nice Tat Matt...such an honor for Abi. Now I understand why they couldn't find her name when I called the hospital. I didn't know they assigned different names for trauma patients. Just know that I am praying for Abi and the rest of the family. Love you all!!
