Riley did very well after surgery and through the night! The doctors were very concerned that her blood pressure not go too low, so we sat for hours staring at the monitor. She has made it over many hurdles the first 12 hours after surgery, which have been told is the most crucial time! They are weening her oxygen intake from the ventilator and use of nitric oxide little by little today. Otherwise, there will be no major changes today. She is on 17 different pumps with lines that either provide her medication or measure pressure levels in her lungs and her right & left ventricle. Add to that the ventilator, nitric oxide, catheter, and glucose monitor, Riley is very busy getting better!
We are in awe of her strength through surgery and recovery. Thank you to all of you who have been praying for her!!!! Keep up the good work!
In HIS grip!
