Natalie's new favorite color is pink! Before her surgery her skin tone looked a bluish-purple due to the lack of oxygen. She is now pink and looks amazing. Her stats are in the high 80s and she has done awesome since her surgery.
Her xray this morning showed a little haze in one of her lungs, this is not uncommon and happened after her last surgery. They are doing some treatments to clear it up. She is still sedated, but they are slowly weaning her off the medicine and her breathing tube.
Thank you all for your support and prayers yesterday, the surgery was successful! We still have along road ahead of us. The surgery was only to by us time until either the Glenn Shunt or a heart transplant. I have so many questions for the doctors, but I realize most of them will not be answered for another two months or so and I am actually okay with that for now. The fact that she has time, works for me.

I will explain more later about the transplant and the glenn shunt procedures, but I am off to take Carter to the doctor now. Yes, my sweet other child is sick. We found a pediatrician here that was recommended to us. I think he has allergies, but with everything going on, we want to be safe.
