Post op day 1

Dr. Marx- Emmie's cardiologist

Preop

Emmie had a better night last night- much more peaceful! She has a slight ileus (bowels are slow) so she would feel much better if she could only have a really big poo! Overall though, she is doing well. They are going to taper her bp iv meds off today and hopefully take out her central line. We will probably be in the ICU at least until tomorrow and possibly Monday. Everyone has been great. The first picture is Dr. del Nido- the miracle man. He is known for making something out of nothing and we are extremely grateful for Emmie's excellent repair.

I'll try to take more pictures and post them as well. I need to take some of the grandmother's who have been so supportive and helpful and allowed us to take much needed breaks- Marsha you too! We appreciate them and Marsha making the trip to be with us. We also appreciate everyone at home who we know would be here if they could. Thanks for all of the support.
