Doing well

Everything so far looks good. Emmie did great through the night and this morning. She's been feisty already. They have been trying to keep her sedated but she's already waving her hands and feet. Hopefully today she will start to lose some tubes- first one in her left atrium and then her chest tubes. Maybe, just maybe, she'll lose the breathing tube later tonight. She's puffy, but she's amazingly beautiful pink. We will try to get some pictures up soon. The surgeon and the cardiologists are all very pleased and so are we. Thanks again for everyone's support.
