The doctors had told us to expect a rough couple of weeks... she is amazing Grace... Her pacemaker wound is healing nice, the medications she was given dissolved the blood clots and helped set her heart beat back to normal! It all happened in a week...
In addition, she got to lay on her stomach for the first time and loved it.
They have found that lowering her beats per minute is making her a much happier baby.
The next big hurdle is the ventilator. She is down to 23 bpm and a pressure of 16. When she came out of surgery she was at nearly 100% support. They are lowering the support ever so slowly, the last two times they tried to lower she fought it. So now I suppose we have to trick her with the ultra slow changes and hope that she tolerates it...
More later... we keep praying for a long, long string of good days like this...

What a little fighter! That's wonderful news. I try to check for updates 3 to 4 times a week, but we pray for her daily.
