Surgery Day 11:30pm

The surgeon just came out and spoke with us and Riley did great!!! We were a little worried as around 10:45 a nurse called and said that the surgeon was coming out to speak to us and they were closing up - that was only 2 hours in to a '4 hour surgery'. Well this is Riley's 2nd surgery and both times she has finished in much less time then they originally stated, so either she is a phenomenally easy patient or the surgeons are like the airlines now and under promise/over deliver.

Her heart rhythm is fine right now - so almost 100% sure that she won't need a pacemaker. They also went through a easier way then they had originally thought they were going to have to. They are hoping to get her breathing tube out this afternoon.

So our little one is ok for now. One huge heart hurdle leaped over. She's taking food by mouth, she has a complete ventricle wall - my little flower is doing great. Thank you all so much for your love, thoughts, and support.
