Audrey is off the oscillatory ventilator and is now on a regular ventilator to keep her breathing. This is a pleasant surprise we did not expect.
According to our Nurse, Audrey is doing very well. It seems her pulmonary hemorrhage is over, so there is no further bleeding into her lungs. Although she still requires a lot of oxygen, her chest x-ray looks about 50% better than yesterday. Because she is so young and small, her lungs will continue to grow and create lung tissue. This will allow Audrey a good chance for complete recovery of lung function.
Audrey is able to move all her arms and legs and open her eyes, which indicates that she tolerated being on the heart and lung bypass machine well.
For now, Audrey is stable and we'll continue to look for small improvements everyday.

Hey you guys,
We're glad to hear Audrey is much improved from her post op "scare". We'll keep praying!

So glad to hear that everything went well with the surgery and she's recovering so nicely! You all are still in our thoughts and prayers...and btw...I LOVE Audrey's middle name. :)
Audrey is such a beautiful little miracle. I know she'll continue to improve and grow into a beautiful young lady her daddy will one day tearfully escort down the aisle. She is in our prayers daily.
