The surgery was longer than expected, and the first time they took her off the bypass machine to test the functioning of the repaired heart, they weren't happy with the results, so they put her back on bypass and did some more work. According to RFMom the surgeon said it was "interesting" and "she has an unusual physiognomy." Just when parents would prefer boring! Jane had a good night (still sedated overnight) and has been de-tubed and is breathing on her own and is recovering at a faster pace than they expected as of this morning. She should be transferred out of pediatric ICU into the regular ward tomorrow, and home in about a week. So, a long long day of worry yesterday, but it looks like the outcome is good! Thanks for your support.
