She's headed to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit
We met with the doctor again and other than a LOT of bleeding and having a sick Patent Ductus Arteriosis (sp?) nothing was out of the ordinary, he had to discard the sick part and couldn't get all of it but didn't anticipate that it will be a big issue. A shunt that they put in is made of gortex so any pin holes in it are tricky for her blood to clot up after being on such a high amount of blood thinner. Her heart was swollen at the beginning of surgery so they anticipate that she will need a few days of having her chest open. This is not unexpected but sad either way.
