Sleepless Nights

I have a feeling it's going to be along couple of days.  Overall she's been doing pretty well, she seems quite sensitive to any changes right now. Small changes in meds or fluids send her blood pressures moving from one extreme to the other.

She just had a pretty bad pressure crash after stopping one drip. They ended up asking us to leave while they worked on her. Not a fun 30 minutes. They had to bolus significant fluids and start an epinephrine drip. They also hooked her up to a pacing machine to make sure her Heart Rate doesn't drop below 100. The doctor did say they had to do some chest compressions to keep her pressures up while the meds kicked in. She stablized fairly well after that.

We're back in with her now and gave her a stern talking to about pulling anymore crap like that. She's stable again, but not giving us any rest.

Keep the positive thoughts coming our way.  While the surgery was a HUGE step, the next 24-48 hours are even more critical for her boby to start to adjust to the new blood flow and all the trauma the surgery induced.
