We didn't get much sleep last night but Adelina had a pretty uneventful night.
Three times during the night they tried to let her breathe on her own but she failed all three times. A few hours ago she passed. They will do a few more breathing trials and if she passes they will extubate. We have seen her determination and even her big blue eyes but her pain has been well managed and they have kept her sleeping. She did need a little pacemaker help last night (she has temporary wires in her heart). This help has continued today but the need is created by having a swollen heart and they don't anticipate it being long term.
Just met with the cardiologist. Because she is so young, and sick, and had a rough surgery they are going to keep her intubated until tomorrow. They know that she has a terrible headache and would like to keep her comfortable without too many drugs, keeping her intubated allows that.
