Today was baby Grace's first surgery. She had a catheter surgery to open up her pulmonary vavle. From the surgeon's standpoint the surgery was a success, but now we have to wait to see if this was enough for the blood to flow appropriatley to sustain enough blood to the lungs. The concern is still that the right ventricle of the heart is not big enough and functioning appropriatley enough to sustain the pressure needed for the proper amount of blood flow. So, tomorrow she will be taken off the medication that is keeping other parts of the heart working to compensate for this issue and see how she does. I hope it works:)
She is still stable, but still attached to many tubes and on many different medications. She is a little fighter. She is so beautiful:)

ReplyDeleteHi Alexis,
ReplyDeleteGrace is beautiful. Her color looks real good too. Are you able to hold her yet? I've been praying for you and Grace. Don't give up and stay strong.

Have not been able to hold her as of yet. We have to wait until she is no longer on the breathing tube. There is talk of that maybe tomorrow if all goes well with taking her off one of the many meds she is on today.
