In PICU, resting

Sierra is resting finally, having been pretty achy for the last two hours.

We had a rollercoaster day today, first good news - the wacky vein didn't seem to be a problem. But there was a whole differ problem, a severe narrowing by the pulmonary valve.


The problem is the pressure against that valve was 75% too high. Very long story short, the doctor ballooned it and he is cautiously optimistic.

I'm as tired as she is, going to crash. Just wanted to get an update out

Thank you for the prayers. Depending on the word we get tomorrow, it looks good.

Almost home.

4 notes in the crib:

Is that an angioplasty she had? It is usually a very successful surgery. I hope it does the job for your daughter, and that things will settle down for all of you. What a blessing to be surrounded by family.

Keeping fingers (and toes) crossed for all of you, and sending prayers.

That's fantastic news about the wacky vein!! I don't know anything about the balloon, but happy to hear from Shirley that it's usually successful. If I'm not mistake it's a fairly routine procedure as far as those things go? I'm glad she's doing well. Get some rest!
