This is a blog about my family; Michele (I'm the mom), Dad Josh, big sister Zoey Lynn and our new addition Riley Rose. Riley was born with 22q11 Deletion Syndrome aka DiGeorge's Syndrome which we are finding to be a daily challenge

Post Surgery 2:15pm WITH PICTURES - LITTLE INTENSE
So Riley has already started to wake up a little. Her ventilator was started in the CICU at 60% oxygen and 25 breaths/minute. She is already down to 50% oxygen and 20 breaths/minute and she is actually taking 7 extra breaths/minute on her own. She has taken a normal amount of blood after surgery and her chest line (which is supposed to help get out excess fluid/blood/buildup in her chest cavity) has looked good with a normal amount of fluids coming out. Her catheter has had a good amount of urine. She really looks good and we were so much more prepared for post op then before. No one has almost passed out or lost it (ok- I teared up a little). Her skin is nice and pink and she seems to be at a relative comfort level.

God bless this baby girl. May he keep her as comfortable as possible and send many angels to guard her.
