Last night was another uneventful night, which is great! Audra is doing well. Today is another surgery day because she is getting her chest closed! This is another big step.
Usually Sunday is not a surgery day but yesterday an 8 day old baby girl arrived via ambulance (no helicopter because of the weather here) who needs surgery. We met the parents because we allowed them to come over to see Audra so the parents could see how things look after surgery. We have no idea what the little one's heart problem is but it is hard to see others go through the same thing. They are in our thoughts and prayers this morning.
After that baby's surgery, they will work on Audra so please also keep Audra in your thoughts and prayers. It will take about an hour and a half in the early afternoon. Once her chest is closed she can continue moving forward with healing. Obviously we are looking forward to this.
Audra is receiving great care from her nurses here. She has her own nurse assigned for each shift and once you have a nurse, they try to keep the nurse with you. Here at the Bay, we have had the same two nurses all weekend. They both have their own style but are both great. Two of Audra's pre-op nurses have stopped by and I think that one (my sister's fav) may be back with us tonight. Everyone here really does a great job though.
On a lighter note, we found out that we are on Team Blue (rather than Team Maize). This just refers to the Team if medical staff that you are working with who do rounds. As always, Go Blue!
