Tuesday morning was so hard... We all got up (after having Olivia sleep with us for the first time ever) got dressed and headed to the hospital. She was being soooo cute like she knew where she was going. Around 7:40 the surgery team came and got her and the surgery didn't start until one hour later. Before that the surgent Dr. Ohye spoke to us and told us that he wasn't going to put the dialysis catheter yet thinking to give Olivia another chance on her kidney as long as she continued to pee. Within an hour and a half he had everything done ( the surgery was supposed to last 3-4 hrs). What a relief that was when he came out and told us the good news... no dialysis and her heart was finally working right.
At around 11:30 we finally went up to see Livi. She was on a ventilator and asleep from the anesthesia and the morphine. Our baby looked so peacefull asleep and beautiful as always that it was hard to believe she just went through an open heart surgery. The day seemed long ... not much changes during the day, so we left around 8-9:00 pm for our hotel expecting a better day tomorrow...
