Surgery Day - 2:45 PM

2:45 PM   

They are currently working on the Sano Shunt (a donor vein with a valve, and a small gortex piece to strengthen the ends).  Once they finish up there they will begin to warm her up so they can remove the heart/lung bypass.  Once that is removed they will begin putting in the drains and check for leaks.  If all is well at that point they will prepare her to leave the OR and head back to ICU.  We will know more at our 4:15 PM Update.

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.
