Hello all. Sorry for the late update. Sleep deprivation got the best of me last night. Her surgery took about 4hrs. She was extubated around 745pm last night. The first tie did not go so well but the second time went good. Her left lung is kinda on the cranky. So we are trying to keep her calm and resting so she can heal. Her blood loss is okay. They gave her two units during the procedure and will be watching her blood level to see if she needs more. Her chest tubes are doing good.
The surgeon came in this morning and he said kenadie is doing okay. she has some puffieness on her chest and her tube is draining at a steady rate this morning. He did not feel comfy taking out the central line or the art line. He said depending on her we have a day or two more in the icu. They dont like to nail down a day bc she could make up her own mind. She will be having more xrays and tests today.
This experience is so humbling and lord i am ready for this to be over. There are alot of babies on this floor and they could use some prayers too.
