Natalie had her Fontan open heart surgery today. I have been updating her www.caringbridge.com/visit/nataliehand website frequently.
Dr. McMullin did a non-fenestrated extra-cardiac Fontan surgery today on Natalie. She did very good even though she was still intubated when she came out of surgery. She's been such a good girl and has followed instructions and communicated with the nurse. I'm really proud of her. She usually doesn't like talking with strangers so this is a positive step forward for her.
She was extubated around 9PM tonight and has done wonderfully. She's had lots of chest tube drainage and so her blood pressures have needed some bolstering with fluids, but all-in-all she's doing great.
