Adriana is simply amazing. It has been less than 48 hours since her open heart surgery and she no longer has any breathing aids. She was also able to kick the stomach drain and her catheter. Today Addy was even able to drink 4 ounces of pedialyte! Thank you all for your prayers and support through all of this--they've proven successful!
Dr. Kaushal was able to clean up Addy's pulmonary artery and closed the two large holes between her ventricles. He also closed the hole between her atriums. Unfortunately, because of the way her heart is situated, he was unable to see/reach a small hole at the apex (bottom) of her heart. Though it still remains open, it is small enough that it could very well close by itself or make no difference whatsoever. She will be monitored for the rest of her life.
The doctors and staff here continue to amaze us. They are truly gifts from God--especially Dr. Sunjay Kaushal and his extremely impressive talent.
Here are some photos of Addy's journey:
