Post op day 3

We are on the 15th floor. Got transferred yesterday afternoon. Angelica's is doing well medically. She is recovering as she should and possibly a bit quicker than most. When we were getting moved to 15 I discovered a pacing wire had been missed. The surgeon places pacing wires directly to the heart so that if the patient goes into an arrhythmia the surgeons have quick way to pace her heart. A member from the surgery team had removed the wires earlier in the day. It can be dangerous because they can nick the heart. Angelica had to be without food for 6 hours for the last removal. It's difficult to keep our Angelica NPO (nothing by mouth). She loves her bottle and food. So if you want a fussy baby don't feed her. These wires may be moved Sunday or Monday.  She did exceptionally well today. She pulled her oxygen off yesterday in the evening. Her oxygen is sitting where it should. So the doc agreed with Angelica, she did not need the oxygen. She has been playful and is getting back on her schedule. We have had a good day and are hoping tomorrow we can start weaning her pain meds down. Praying we continue down this road and will be out of the hospital this next week. Thank you all for the kind words and prayers.
