As we had posted earlier that that baby came back from surgery around 1200 and she was doing well and she was doing exactly what they wanted her to do. She is maintained on x3 medication for her heart to maintain rate and contraction. Arlyn's blood pressure is stable and her heart rate is also stable she did require a fluid bolus at 1900 but has not received any other assistance for blood pressure since. She is paralyzed so they can control her breathing and essentially do what they want even so she was able to wean from the vent a little bit today and got down to 50% Fi02. (This is great for her first day) She had a blood sample drawn every hour to check how she is doing and so far other than needing calcium repleated (which is quite normal) she has been critically stable.

She is one of the sickest babes at Galasano Children's hospital right now but in light of that she is doing wonderfully. The next 24 hours is critical and every 24 hour that passes will make Arlyns picture a little  more clear. The plan is that on Monday her open chest will be closed as the swelling allows. Please keep the prayers for Arlyn coming…I will be minimize the photo exposure of Arlyn at this point but I feel it is important for family and friends to see her. Please know that the photos are graphic and as the medical equipment gets peeled back and our baby is put back together to support herself more pictures will be available. If you have any questions please post at the bottom of the blog and I will try and answer them so everyone can have an answer, knowing that if someone does have a question there is likely other who have the same. We love you all and look forward to more positive days ahead.
