Elizabeth’s tubes that were draining the fluid from around her heart, after her surgery, were taken out today. Also, her iv’s that went directly into her heart were also taken out. But to top everything off, we found out that she has SVT (a condition of the heart that causes rapid heart beat). This is heritary but can be controlled by medications until she gets old enough to have it corrected. At least they were able to find out what caused the problems last night and this morning.
Her nurse tonight told me that she will be able to sleep on her belly some now that the tubes are out and we should be able to hold her soon. It was a busy day for little Ella Bella and she slept for a long time after getting her tubes removed but I was there cheering her on and holding her hands while they removed everything. So for now we shouldn’t be getting anymore surprises and on our home.
