Sorry for the delay! It has been a day to say the least! Lucy got out of surgery around 1:00pm and the doctor said everything worked out great. They did have to put an IV in her groin because the one in her neck didn't take. Also it ended up taking them a little longer because the doctor needed more time to find the perfect place to clap her artery and sew it without having a drop in blood pressure.
We met with the surgeon afterwards and he showed us what he cut out. It looked like a noodle. Ha! But you could see the narrowing and he was convinced if the duct would have closed on its own, it would have caused major issues. Makes you wonder if that was the reason it never closed.
We finally were able to see her at 2:30pm this afternoon and she looked as expected. I'm not going to lie but I have major issues with seeing her like that. But she looked comfortable and she was in really good hands. All the doctors and the surgeon and a ton of other people were 100% focused on little Lucy.
I decided I needed to go home and wait to be around Lucy until tomorrow when she will have a lot less items plugged into her and her breathing tube will be out as well. They actually hope to try bottle feeding tonight or early tomorrow morning sometime. Daddy decided to stay behind and I assume I will get a full report when he returns tonight.
We made it through and we are SO ready for Lucy to recover and GET HER HOME!!!
