Out of the ICU

Stella was moved out of the ICU into her own room.  All chest tubes are out and she was able to get up and walk a little even though it was pretty painful.  The walk pretty much wiped her out so she is sleeping like a log.

X-ray

This is a an X-ray that shows Stella's new pulmonary valve.  You can also see the 2 drainage tubes in the X-ray.  They just took one out and will hopefully take the other one out soon.

Sleepy

We had a good night. She still nauseous from the medicine, but is able to hold down liquids.

CICU

Taking her sweet time waking up.  But doing awesome.  Thank you all for your prayers and kind words.

Surgery Finished

Surgery is done!  The doctor said everything went awesome.  We are just waiting for them to transfer her to the Cardiac ICU.

Bypass

They just updated us and said that Stella is on the bypass machine and they are starting the repair.

Just went back to the opperating room. They told us to plan on 6 hours.  She wasn't even nervous.  I think the Versed helped.
