Surgery Day 2

What a busy busy day. The day started by pulling art lines and central lines on Astrid and Madeline and sending them to the floor. Later in the afternoon Arnold made his way to the floor and then after lots of negotiating Steven made it to the floor. Dr. Stromberg considered leaving Steven in the ICU since he had be the sickest of the four and we had extra beds but Steven was mad at him for letting everyone else go and bargained with him so that he could go as well.

Four more surgeries were done today. Anny (ASD), Nayeli (PAPVR), Dennis (ASD, VSD, PAH) and Jennifer (TOF). Anny and Nayeli came out first and did very well. Dennis and Jennifer both arrived within a few minutes of each other and kept us very busy. Jennifer is settled and doing well but Dennis is still very very sick. All of our patients have come back extubated except for Dennis. He is still on the ventilator, sedated, paralyzed and having some arrhythmias. Dennis seems to be doing a little better than we he first came back from surgery but he is still very sick. Please keep all of these children in your prayers.
