Wisdom Heart

We have had lots of progress since yesterdays post.
Last night, around 1am, the nitric oxide was shut off.
And this morning, the surgeon came in and closed Sophia's chest.
They have reduced her Fentanyl and Versed, which were at very high doses to keep her sedated. And they shut off her Vecuronium (a paralytic). This should allow her to wake some and begin to move.
She is still on the ventilator. But we are progressing toward getting rid of it as well.
She is also on a small dose of a vaso-dilator called Milrinone that keeps the pulmonary vessels opened up. And a small dose of Epinephrine, which I think is somewhat like adrenaline.
Sophia has tolerated all of this quite well.
I will post as there are changes thanks for the comments. It means a lot to us to hear from you.
