She is on a lot of sedation and still is under paralysis. They want to keep her that way through most of the night to give her heart a chance to adjust before having to keep up with her body. They hope to wean her off the paralization tomorrow to see how her heart responds.
Her lungs seem to be functioning well and she is down to 60% oxygen from 100% after the procedure today.
We are still a sick little girl and they are compensating her with medication but, all in all, she is doing very well. The next day will hopefully tell us a lot.
Dr. Cuadrado (aka Dr. Doom) is out this week. The nurse practitioner took a picture of her "today I will prove Dr. Cuadrado wrong" sign and sent him a text from Mallory asking how he thought she looked off of ECMO. He responded immediately saying she looked great off of ECMO and was glad she proved him wrong!! I told you he was human :)
More updates to come tomorrow. Thank you for all of your continued support. We will never be able to thank you all enough.
That is yet another good news. No doubt things are looking up! So hard that she didn't have the Berlin Heart rather giving her a chance to pull through on her own. Some have slow start but steady! Hang in there, Jessica. Wei
