Wednesday we got Bailey's heart fixed! We had to check in to the hospital at 6:00 am. This is Bailey in the littlest hospital gown they had... It was so cute.
Then there was all of the pre-op tests (height, weight, head, blood pressure, etc.) She now weighs 13 pounds 1 ounce. She is 27 inches.
Dana and I got to walk Bailey into the operating room and I had to hold her arms down as they use gas to get her asleep. It was the saddest scariest thing I have had to do... She was out and they quickly kicked us out... then the waiting started. We were told it would be between 2-4 hours. We ate breakfast, prayed, bought Bailey new toys in the gift shop, prayed, paced and prayed.
After 1.5 hours, they called and said she was done and in recovery. It was easy and fast and she did wonderful. This is her just waking up. The one major hole was fixed with a platinum coil and the other hole was fixed by prayer because when the surgeon got in there the 2nd hole was too small to need fixing. Talk about miracles!!!
She got to spend the night in the hospital since she is so little. Jill and Bailey slept in the crib and Dana on the couch. Not the best nights sleep but we would do anything for Bailey!
You would never know that she just had heart surgery 24 hours previously. The only tell tale signs are 2 tiny puncture wounds in her groin and bruising on her hands from the IV. She is amazing!
Thank you all for all of your prayers, there is no doubt in my mind that they worked.
