So Lilly did well last night. They were able to pull her breathing tube this morning, so that was pretty cool. She has had a pretty good fever since last night, though. It is not uncommon for them to get fevers from all the stress of the operation, but they usually don't last that long. Her bloodwork is still good and the fever is controllable, so we will see.
Also, the pressures in her atria that are related to the valve repair have gone up since last night. Ideally, the surgeon wanted them to stay the same or even out. She has been put on some extra meds to try to control this. We will see what happens over the next 24 hours with that. Once her pressures have come down a little we will be much more out of the woods, so we are anxious about that.
Otherwise, her pain is being controlled. She cries a little, but not too much - more so I think because she really wants a bottle to drink (which she'll be able to do hopefully in a couple of hours) and to be held. Overall, so far so good, I suppose.
We will keep you updated. If you want more up to date stuff, I'm sure Eric is posting on his Facebook.
