Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Best wishes headed her way LOVE & HUGS, grandmomBEv had her surgery on Tuesday She had her open heart surgery on Tuesday to correct her VSD. The surgery went great and she did wonderfully that day and was even able to be extubated. Unfortunately, since that night she has been struggling a bit. She has been running some high fevers and had breathing problems. She has been very very close to being put back on the vent but they are really trying to avoid it because of her cf. We have had to reduce her pain meds to help with her breathing but that has made it so she is uncomfortable. It is so hard to find the right balance. She does seem a bit better this morning so hopefully she is really starting to turn the corner now and will begin some steady improvement.
