Moving out of ICU soon!

Day 2 after surgery, recovering well.

Looking great, today's the day we move out of ICU!

I apologize for not posting an update sooner. Lilly is doing awesome! We are blessed to be where we are with the wonderful doctors and nurses who are caring for her. Yesterday was one of the biggest days for her in regards to recovery. The RA line that goes straight into her right atrium to measure her heart pressures was removed. After this the doctors gave her another echo-cardiogram to make sure her heart was not bleeding from the removal of this line. After an hour they removed the central line that was in her femoral artery and following that her catheter. We got to hold her last night and I even tried to breastfeed her. She had no problems eating, but a little with acid reflux. The nurse said that it should go away with time. She doesn't really know she s had surgery, all she knows is she's hungry and eats too fast. Lilly now only has one IV and the NG tube in incase she needs to be fed or given medicine. Because most of her lines are out we will now be able to move out of ICU to a regular room to further her recovery. I want to thank everybody again for supporting us through all of this! The road ahead of us will be a struggle, but with the support and prayers that we have received I know that we'll be able to get through it. I just have to keep remembering God does not give you anything you cannot handle!
