Mallory is doing well. After what seemed like forever yesterday we finally got to go back and see her. After being home for 3 months it's hard to see her lying in a bed swollen, restless and unable to be comforted. We were told after the Hemi procedure a "Hemi" headache is common, so this is making her very restless. Yesterday evening her heart was out of rhythm so they had placed her on a pacemaker and were able to take her off of that today as the heart went back in rhythym on its own. They have begun what they call a sprint to see how she is doing breathing on her own in hopes of being extubated this afternoon. We're back to taking baby steps towards getting back to what we called our normal life. We're blessed to be in a great hospital with the best care with lots of love and support from family and friends.
