That's My Girl

Isabella is doing great. They did close her chest already. She does not have much swelling. Her chest tubes are already starting to decrease in drainage. She did not come back on NitricOxide or Epi. She is on minimal drips of Dopamine, Milrinone, Versed and Fentanyl. They will probably take her off the Nipride and Nitro tonight. They will probably start to wake her up tomorrow. She is waking up now, but they want her to rest tonight, so they have been giving her as needed Morphine. So in simplar terms, she is doing awesome. She is recovering well. She is sucking on an imaginary pacifier right now. She did come out of surgery with a fat lip. Not real sure where it came from. Her color looks great and she seems to be moving right along. I have taken pictures of her, but I won't put any on until tomorrow because I left my camera in my bag in the van. Also, Dr. Lofland said that her pulmonary vessels look big and great. He said they have really grown. Remember, this is what needed to happen in order for Isabella to get better. That is why they put her on Viagra. So that is another MIRACLE!!! Again thanks for all of your prayers today. The response on her blog was awesome. We are so blessed to have had so many and to have so many people who keep us in their prayers. Please continue to pray as Isabella recovers. I will keep everyone posted.
Love to All
