After a crazy evening yesterday with the clot issue, Audra had a quiet night and has a lot to look forward to today. Her thrombosis seems to be improving. The blood flow is looking better and is expected to be back to normal here this evening or tomorrow. We will continue to monitor her, of course.
Audra is scheduled to get her chest tubes out today. She will also start sprints to ensure she is ready to come off the ventilator today but she might have to stay on it until tomorrow. She is weening off some of her pain medications and has been able to get off a few other post op meds. So things are moving in the right direction.
Her surgeon, Dr. Bove, was just by to check in on her again. He thinks she is doing well for being on the younger side for having her Hemi surgery and thinks her "Hemi headache" (which is caused because of increased blood flow to the head after the surgery) looks good and better than he expected. It is pretty mild, I guess, compared to what it could be. I don't think it looks very mild but she isn't in pain, which is good.
Hopefully Audra continues along here today without issue. Thank you for your continued support!
Glad to hear things are going well! Aly developed a clot after her Norwood in her right leg that worked itself out over the matter of a couple days. Prayers for a swift and uneventful recovery for Miss Audra! <3
