Hi all, Mia is doing well today, although abit slower than expected. We were hoping she would be woken up and taken off the ventilator but she has been a bit too unstable. She is needing drugs to support her blood pressure and to get rid of a lot of extra fluid. She is looking very puffy but still very beautiful!!
This afternoon they stopped her muscle relaxing drugs and this evening she is flickering her eyes and starting to move an arm. Tonight she will continue to start moving more but will be kept 'asleep' over night.
The hole in her heart that is allowing blood flow from the lungs to the right side of the heart is unfortunately not looking big enough at this stage. There is a chance that tomorrow they may take her into surgery again which although is a very quick procedure, will mean being put on a heart bypass machine. So keep fingers crossed that it will not be necessary.
Keep praying for our little Mia,
