Leighton's Surgery [night one]


Leighton had a really good night and has had a good morning so far. We're on top of her pain and she was able to have a bottle this morning so that seemed to help.  After surgery she was on some meds for high blood pressure and other various things, we've been able to wean her off most of those and are getting her off of morphine. We're using oxycodone and tylenol to manage her pain now. She received her first dose of asprin this morning and will continue to take that until her next surgery years down the road. Her mood much better and we've got to see her sweet eyes more today. If all continues to go well, this afternoon we will be able to remove the pace wires from her  right atrium (we've been monitoring pressures since surgery) and her central lines.  Keep it up Leighton, you're such an amazing little fighter!
