Hemi-Fontan Post-Op Day 4 Evening
So... the morning didn't start off too well, but the good news is the "infiltrated" line in his left arm was IV fluids and looks to be well on the way back to normal.
We have been transferred to the Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) and out of the CICU. STEPDOWN! For those who counted, we spent 5 days in the CICU for the Norwood and then 5 more in the CCU. This time was 4, and now...? Aiming for just 4 more but of course it's completely in God's hands. We know we have been extremely blessed to be going through this so (relatively) quickly. Prayers are working!
As the day wears on Mr. M has been feeding more, fussing less, and de-swelling in the arm area.
Here is a pic with the wonderful Dr. Chitra Ravishankar. Her and Dr. Desiree Fleck check on us every day. =D
Might Mac is sleeping now and his heartbeat is 113, with Ox at 85%.
THAT is his normal!
Praise God! Thank you, prayer warriors! Great job, Might M, Mamma & Daddy! Sending you virtual hugs! I've read this twice because I'm feeling starved for updates! Thankful for this blog & Facebook for keeping the masses informed... love you guys! Xoxoxoxo
