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.
