Hi everyone,
Alyssa came through her surgery extremely well. Everything was right on schedule and so far nothing has gone wrong. The best news is that her heart is now repaired, and they were able to extubate her right away, which is huge! Sometimes babies with pulmonary hypertension are on a ventilator longer, and it's tricky to get them off.
So now Alyssa is sleeping comfortably thanks to modern medicine. The goal is to keep her sleeping and pain free until tomorrow, but then they will be getting her up to walk around because it is better if they do that. As long no complications arise, she could be out of the hospital in 7 days.
I can't thank you all enough for your love, support and prayers during this whole ordeal. It's as if I could actually feel your warm hugs from all over the world.
Love to you all,
Maryann
