Well we just got to see her. The surgery went well. She was on nitric oxide during the surgery but she did great. She is currently extubated in 2L oxygen. When she woke up in the PICU the nurses said she was pointing at her breathing tube and they knew they better get it out before she did it herself!!! They then gave her some morphine so she is pretty sleepy but she did open her eyes and try to cry a little. We just left cause her xray shows a small pneumothorax (air in her chest) so they have to put in another chest tube. This is pretty routine although still scary. Hopefully she will continue to breathe well. She really looks awesome. I expected her to look a lot worse. Tonight the goal is to keep her calm and comfortable. I will continue with the updates. Hopefully sleep for us is in the near future. ok- thanks for the continued prayers.
