Margaret has been working hard since having her first heart surgery on Thursday. Recovery is going well minus a scare yesterday when she had an episode of arrhythmia. Thankfully, she's a tough little lady and was able to pull herself out of it without needing medication. She is being watched extra close and has had no other episodes so far. We are praying that she continues to move forward and does not have anymore of these scary episodes.
Today, Margaret had her two arm lines removed - she is so happy to be able to move her arms! She only has her neck line in (which will stay in for a few more days) and has heart monitors on. She is currently receiving supplemental oxygen through a nasal cannula as well. She also got moved out of the big bed and into a crib, which is a huge deal although she still looks teeny tiny in it. It was so nice to see them taking equipment out of Margaret's room instead of bringing more in like yesterday!
To answer a question we get daily...We don't know when she will get to go home but it will probably be a couple more weeks in the hospital. All we know is that she is doing well after the surgery and we have not yet had to have a conversation about her open heart surgery that will eventually happen. We are taking everything one day at a time and mommy and daddy are happy just to be able to hold her for a little while today.
Margaret is getting the best care and Bill and I continue to be amazed by all of the doctors and nurses at Children's.
