On the mend

Mia is doing well thismorning. SHe came through yesterdays surgery very well and all her 'numbers' were good yesterday afternoon and evening. Her blood pressure is much better which had been one of the main problems. She is quite puffy again, but that is normal after bypass surgery. We just had her looking almost back to her usual self again!!! She is still beautiful though!

The plan for today is to reduce her blood pressure medication, wake her up a bit and try to reduce her dependence on the ventilator so hopefully she can be breathing by herself tomorrow. Of course we are now very weary of plans and will just be taking things VERY slowly.

For medical brains, we are also doing renal ultrasounds to make sure her kidneys are not the cause of her systemic hypertension,

Lots and lots of love, once again thatnks for all the prayers and comments on the site too!! Dont forget you can email us at any stage also,
Cheers
