Amelia was just extubated again. She is very horse, but at least we can hear her cries again!!! What a crazy experience it is to be happy to hear your child cry again! Who knew that sound would be such music to our ears.
This surgery has already been such a different experience. Amelia came back from surgery looking much different than the first surgery. Her chest is closed, there are less tubes and she is already coming off the sedatives given for surgery.
We have had several bouts of GREAT news too. During her catheterization on Friday, a heart electrical specialist confirmed there were no abnormal electrical paths to worry about, which means one less medicine when we go home and one less worry. During surgery, the doctors did not have to put Amelia on the bipass, so the surgery went faster than expected. She is already extubated and no NG (feeding tube), so we are excited. Hopefully we will continue with the good news all week!
Amelia, Kim and Brian
Obviously Amelia is no quitter, just like her parents. Very happy that the surgeries are going well and she is doing well. God obviously has a beautiful plan for her. <3
