Berlin Heart- Day 2

I know the day isn't over yet, but Ry is resting so I figured I should post while I have the time.
Today was a VERY nerve-wrecking day. Gilly and I felt nervous with every passing hour. We are overall getting a very good report for little Miss. She is just now 48 hours post-op so we still have a long way to go in her recovery. Last night Ry slept pretty well throughout the night. She had only a little discomfort and we tried to manage it so that she stayed pain-free. She would sleep for about an hourt and then wake for 10 minutes or so. She was asking for water and milk, but only received ice chips after 3 am. Today she had tolerated a little juice and water, but her fluids are restricted so that she does not start to retain more than she can excrete.
The doctors and nurses had a day filled with managing high blood pressure, pain, high glucose, low grade fever, pressures to and from the heart and more. They began her heprin drip to anti-coagulate, did a dressing change, did a chest Xray and more labs than I can count. Like I said Gilly and I have been concerned throughout the day, but all in all the doctors and surgeons are pleased. And if they are happy, we are happy.
We are hoping for a restful night for Ry. Today the Nurse Practioner told us that we should expect some steps back along the way, but right now Ry is running forward!
We are still petitioning for those prayers. We are truly humbled and grateful for all the well wishes that we have received from friends, family and even strangers. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
