2nd Day Post Fontan Surgery - 10:00 AM

Wednesday August 24, 10:00 AM

 

It looks like we will be leaving the PICU this morning.  Afton is here now and the nurses are continuing the stuff they usually do before we are released to the regular Pediatric floor.  They took some Labs, X-Rays early this morning.  Along with all the other items on their to do list medications, diaper weight, feedings they also took her weight, and measured all the fluids still coming out of the plural catheters and JP drain.  For the weigh in they brought in a portable digital scale and had Lilee stand on it. So this is the first time she has been able to stand with a little help from mom and the holding bars.  With the exception of a crummy nights sleep she is doing rather well and I am guessing she will probably sleep most of the day.

About the author

I am the proud father of 6 Children (5 girls and 1 poor boy).  Our second youngest daughter was born with a heart condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS).  In a nutshell the left side of her heart never fully developed.  Hopefully this site will chronicle the progress she is making and everyone who is interested can keep up to date.
