Post-op Day 2

Reagan is doing good!  She is remaining stable.  After two chest washouts yesterday, her bleeding has substantially slowed down which is terrific.  She has not had to receive any blood today.  Whereas yesterday, they were chasing their tails trying to replace all she was losing.  Today, they have mainly been working with her pacing wires trying to get her heart rhythms in sync. Where her VSD (hole in her heart) was closed is right where the signals fire to tell the heart to pump.  They explained it like this....just like when someone has a brain injury and their body has to develop new pathways to send signals- they are just helping her heart along for now until her body figures it out....not a big concern for now.  She really has had a very stable day.  We are so thankful!  They are still working to get more fluids off her and talking about possibly closing her chest Sat. or if not, then Sunday. That would be wonderful! Thank you all again for your many encouraging comments, prayers and support.  We live to check for new comments so keep them coming!
