Macy did pretty good overnight with no desats (dips in her oxygen). I was up a lot through the night due to people coming and going. She has had a low grade fever, so they ran some cultures. The culture from her vent tube came back positive for bacteria. She is already on antibiotics so they will just tweak those to fight this specific type of bacteria.
The surgeons came in this morning and said we are getting her coags (blood clotting factor) close to what we want. They want her blood to be a specific thinness. Her labs earlier this morning were 55, and then dropped to 35. They want her in between 60-80. We increased her sedation a little bit due to higher heart rate and high blood pressure. They also ordered an echo, and her heart looks good. Her catheter leaked a little today, but we think the issue is fixed. Overall she looks pretty good right now.
One of our surgeons changed her dressing since it was completely saturated. She is not stitched closed, but her top skin is stapled temporarily. It looked good, and it is great to see a nice clean dressing. He said it still looks like we will go back in Monday, but we have no idea when since they will just take her from our room. We can't be more proud of our tough little Macy. She continues to amaze us!
The main man, Dr. Superina came in tonight. He said she looks great, and will most likely do a veno gram tomorrow. They wil be checking for blood flow as well as clotting. After surgery Monday, we will start waking her up. I feel like crying just thinking about her waking up and seeing those sweet eyes again!
Jeremy and I are here alone now, my dad went home.We appreciated him being here to help during pre-op and surgery day. He is such a supportive man. It had been so long since a big surgery we just didn't now how we would do. We are doing great though. Jeremy has been awesome. He has been getting us food, bringing me changes of clothes, and even brought the nurses donuts this morning. They loved it! He did some laundry last night when he got back to the RMH. I finally got to take a shower last night. It was amazing!!!!
McKenna has been having a great time with Grandma Kelli! My mom has volunteers at the school each day this week, and has been doing great things with McKenna. We have been using Face Time to see her and talk to her daily. She broke my heart last night when she asked to see Macy. I showed her the view from our window, and a quick view of the room. She could not see Macy, just her feet. They will be so happy to see each other again!
