Good news! The surgery went well. They are finishing the dressing and will be moving her to ICU soon. They will slowly start to wake her up and remove the vent. They expect 3-5 days in the hospital though DH suspects she'll push for leaving right at 3!

Hi Friends!!!!!!!!!! I'm still in ICU bc my heart would not regulate. I have pacer wires coming out of my chest. I also have two drainage tubes, a catheter, an IV in my neck and one in each arm. I got two IVs removed overnight. 1/2
7:36am on 9/13/24 by

Heart finally regulated yesterday evening but they are being cautious. I'm starving! My blood sugar count after surgery hit the roof. That's common sometimes. So I've been on insulin & liquid, sugar-free diet. I'll update more soon!!!! <3

And funny story: After one surgery, the nurse was going to pull dad's tubes out. Said we might want to take my then 6-year-old niece out of the room. She spoke up to say no, that she wanted to watch!
6:00pm on 9/13/24 by

Wow @cort- you are amazing. So good to get out of main icu.
Take time to recover while you've got a medical team to wait on you tho!
