Surviving day 1

 

This afternoon passed slowly, just trying to keep Allie happy and in her bed. It's a little like the plane rides with her being pretty tense and restless but at least we aren't as confined and she isn't crying too much except when someone comes to mess with her. She's loving the phone and a baby signing DVD from the library.  And eating. She ate so much today. She just fell asleep but will have to wake for her special surgery bath before too long. Her heart is really sick. The surgeon for tomorrow came by and he called her high pressure remarkable. Hopefully they are able to do enough tomorrow to last her a long time but at this point it seems uncertain. Thankful she is getting the help she needs. They will take her at 7 am but not start surgery till 9 or 10.  Hoping we can both rest ok tonight.
