Mallory continues to make progress after her surgery on Tuesday. She is no longer on any type of sedation medication but receiving pain medications regularly as needed. Her lungs are opened up and dry so that is no longer a concern. We are hoping to wean down from high flow oxygen to just a nasal cannula. They are beginning her on oral blood pressure medication and watching how her heart handles the increase. Her vitals seem to be within normal range. They would like to remove some lines and her chest tube tomorrow and be moved to the moderate care floor. Mallory is 20 weeks old today, amazing the changes she has made over such a short time. She has been opening her eyes and looking around but still no smiles, hoping they return soon.
