Surgery update

Gracelyn has been in surgery for about 5 hours now. They originally told us that it would only be three hours. The surgeon thought that he would be able to perform the surgery without putting her on the lung and heart bypass machine. Once he was ready to put the shunt in her saturations started to drop so for safe measures he had to put her on the machine, I only hope that her recovery is just as quick as not having to put her on it.
We just received a phone call from the surgeon and our little miracle is doing good and he is done with the shunt and now he is putting in a few last post-op lines in to help with the drainage and then Gracelyn will be going back to her room for a couple of weeks.
