Many of the IV lines, fluids, and medications have been detached. She’s getting enough fluids through what she is drinking right now to suffice.
The emergency pacemaker electrodes were take out of her chest this morning. These wires are attached directly to the heart in many heart surgery patients just in case there is a need to stabilize or regulate the heartbeat. A single stitch holds it to the skin as it goes from outside to inside the body. Her catheter should be removed soon as well.
Other than that, she still whimpers every 45 minutes or so, and has asked me to hold her several times. She has asked for mommy a bit as well, so she'll be happy when Amy shows up in a little while.
