Twenty-four hours post-op and Witty is doing really well...she is alert and enjoying a day long cartoon marathon! She is struggling with pain, so that will be a major issue in consideration to when she can come home. She still has her central line, and a few other lines as well as several monitors, and some other issues to workout.
The surgeon said he wouldn't know what he would run into until he could actually see her anatomy (because her heart and vessels are not typical), but fortunately the problem did not give him any surprises and he said it was a "good fix."
Here is some amazing news, we were not expecting.....He also relayed, after observing the echo, that her "tet repair" (ToF) from 3 years ago still looked really really good, and the valve was in excellent shape (after being damaged during the last surgery)!
Apparently, the Lord continued to heal her heart, looooonnngggg after the surgery was complete, and restored her damaged valve!
So so so thankful for your prayers...praising HIM!

That sounds great! Hope they can get those lines out of her. I know they are uncomfortable.
So glad to hear this wonderful news! Praise God that she's feeling well and that the surgery was successful.
Now, let's get her home!!!
I am so happy surgery went so well for her! She is a miracle, one I am fortunate enough to have witnessed! God has big plans for Witty!
