Our nurses have been telling us how amazing Gracelyn is doing. The nurse she had when she came back to the CICU to recover kept saying that she is doing "stellar." It was so great to hear! The nurse tonight thought she had been here recovering from surgery for three days. She is breathing on her own, her color is great, she is sucking on the tube down her throat and most recently she's been trying to pull the lines out of her body. The nurse decided she needed to tape them down and put mittens on her hands so she didn't rip anything out. Plans are to take the tube out of her throat in the morning. They feel like she is ready now, but don't want to chance having to put it back in if something goes wrong. The attending told our nurse he felt like she would be moved out of the CICU by Saturday and then possibly home 3-4 days later. For having had our baby go through heart surgery today, Jeff and I are both doing amazing! We loved having the chance to have our babies meet and having surgery go so well has been such a blessing. Here is one last picture before we head to bed.
Well done to you both, and dear little Gracelyn.
