Hello everybody,
We’re having a much more calm day today. The surgery went really well yesterday, and Natalie is in NICU recovering. Her pressures and stats continue to look really good, and we’ll be watching closely today and tomorrow to make sure her heart keeps responding positively to the surgery. They are keeping her paralyzed and asleep so her body can recover from all she has been through. Hopefully, they will start reducing the amount of muscle relaxers tomorrow, and they’ll slowly allow her to wake up throughout the end of the week and over the weekend. The tentative schedule is to have her in the NICU until early next week, and then she’ll be moved over to the recovery wing. The length of her stay there will be dictated by how her body recovers. We won’t really know how long we’ll be here until we’re further along in the process. Again, Heidi and I are thankful to our employers for allowing us to be here with her. Thank you all, again, for all of the prayers and support. We’ll keep you posted on her progress.
First hour out of surgery, lots of machines, tubes, and wires.
