This procedure is done right on the ward, it's set up to be a sterile surgery room if necessary. The closing shouldn't take more than 1 hour. We'll probably have to wait 2+ hrs to see her again, because they were going to close another chest right after Olivia's closure.
Olivia's Kidney values are also pretty good, her Creat has crept up to 1.0 from 0.9 yesterday (normal = 0.5). The Renal team suspects she will creep up a little more before she comes down, because of her arrest episodoe the other night. Overall they seemed comfortable with her kidney function and think things should recover to baseline as long as no new insults occur.
Great! Great! Great!
