The past few days seem to have flown by, I don't know where the time goes. Riley is continuing to do well. While her pulmonary pressures have decreased slightly since the surgery, today's echo confirmed that she stills has hypertension. This was not unexpected and we are happy that her heart is under a little less stress than it previously was. The doctors just did rounds, the consensus seems to be to get her back to the vent settings that she was on prior to surgery, i.e. lower pressures.
Riley had all of her tubes changed out, and had her bedding changed, so her crib is looking pretty spiffy. She is swollen as a result of the surgery and the fluids that the doctors use to keep her blood pressure in check, but she should pee the extra fluid out over the coming days. Updated picture of our buttercup is below.
Brian and Sandy and Riley: Thank you so much for sharing Riley's journey this way. She is an amazing little girl and I feel privileged to get to know her. YOu are incredible parents and of course, she has the greatest brother, Chase. You are in my prayers all the time and my family's as well.
