Bless Her Heart: first night on "the floor"

first night on "the floor"

...and she is doing great! I guess her sleep was a little disturbed with vitals needing to be taken and then an x-ray early this morning. And she got quite mad, despite the morphine, when they pulled out her final 2 chest tubes...but they are out now!
So hopefully she gets lots of good sleep today and rests up for her echo in the morning. That will tell us how the blood is flowing and how her heart is handling the change in the plumbing. There might not be much to update today...and if there's not, for today, that is a good thing.

so for now, she is peacefully sleeping... with some friends to watch over her.

What great news to go to sleep with. She is a rock star and I love her supporting band. Grandma Julie is headed your way. Love to all, Dad

Our Little Darla Jane was born on March 30th and was diagnosed, within the first day of life, with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. We did not know anything about HLHS when she was born and knew very little about congenital heart defects at all. Over time we have learned more. We have also been helped by others who have traveled a similar journey.
We hope this blog will help keep family and friends informed on how well she is doing as she travels along this journey in her life. We also hope that as people read this blog we will be able to raise awareness for congenital heart defects as well as help others who might be traveling along a similar path.

If you have questions at all you can post them on this blog or email me at brewer.mauri(at)gmail(dot)com.
