I spoke with Brittany's cousin, Nick, just a few minutes ago and he gave me an update on how she's doing.
They took Brittany into surgery today to repair the tear/leak that had necesitated a chest tube a couple weeks ago. She is out of surgery now, and everything went fine. Turns out there were several small leaks and they were able to close and cover every one, hopefully solving that problem. They didn't put her completely under because they needed to be able to communicate with her about epidural placement and how her breathing was feeling. They just took her to post-op for a little while to make sure she's stable and then she'll be taken back to the ICU.
They will be monitoring her for the next several days and the chest tube will stay in place, just to make sure nothing else pops up. If by Friday, everything looks the same they'll remove the chest tube.
Several people have asked about Lily. Lily is staying with Becca and they are actually staying with a friend to be able to be closer as Brittany and Alex's home is a couple hours from the hospital she is in.
Brittany and Alex are aware of the blog and have expressed their gratitude for everyone's thoughts and well wishes.
