They closed Avery's chest up tonight and she looked peaceful when I came back to see her. They lace the sternum up with sergical steel and leave it in, til next time. The bone just grows around it. Kind of neat, kind of gross. She is sedated and looks lovely.
This weekend they will try to "sprint" her heart and have her initiate breaths on her own for an hour at a time. She'll be on the mend, yay! Hopefully she won't get any infections, ect. (knock on wood)
I met a family yesterday whose 2 yr. old just completed her third surgery, the same kind that Avery has had/will have. She was doing great- wearing a pink little robe and her mom was following her around carrying her catheter bag. It was funny to see and nice to see she was done!
Eric and Zach are coming up this weekend for a family get together :)
Have a great day!
