Recovery- Day 6

/

We have not heard from the surgeons yet regarding the plication (tacking down) of his diaphragm. During rounds this morning the team said today will be more of the same, no new changes. 

On the brighter side, his oxygen saturation is phenomenal. Pre-op and pretty much since birth, Santi's little heart only managed to provide his body with 75%-80% oxygenated blood. See that 100 on the monitor?

Oh how it fills me with greater joy than I've ever known! 100 PERCENT! Just like me, you and everyone else who has normal heart function. Yes, he is on half a liter of oxygen, but that's practically nothing. He will probably average 95% when we're home. I'll take it. ​Gladly!
