Surgery Completed Successfully!

1115 am : Spoke with Doctor, Jeffery Heinle, surgery is done now. Everything went as planned. YEAH, Success! She is now in CVICU. They say that we will be able to see her in about 1 hour after they get her settled. They have stopped her Prostaglandins now and expect her PDA to close in next 24-48 hours, allowing shunt to work and somewhat regulate blood flow to lungs. Expect her to be intubated next 24-48 hours and to have many more tubes and wires. But glad to be able to report good news so far to you all.. Please don't stop the prayers!!

  20. So very happy! The last text I rec'd from Stacy made it sound like they couldn't complete the surgery and would have to keep the PDA open. I will keep praying b/c it seemed to work! I hope you get to take that beautiful little angel home soon.

  23. We are still thinking about you guys and wishing you well- I know its a challenge right now (we've had to hand over Parrish for 2 open heart surgeries and 2 heart caths so far and he's 11 months old now) but you are in such a great place and you have so much support :) One heart mom to another- just keep fighting and keep the hope, no matter what hiccups may come... its a marathon not a sprint, one surgeon told us that and it was some of the best advice we ever got!

    sincerely,
