And all is going well according to her nurse, Iris (too bad it’s not Daisy but at least it’s a flower.) Conk is awake and responsive; still a little groggy, but asking about Chickpea and hoping she can have some apple juice soon. The breathing tube was removed around noon and all her vitals are good. Hopefully she’ll be able to leave the ICU tomorrow.
First day post-op

So glad she’s awake and talking. She’ll probably not remember much of today due to anesthesia, mega medications and stimuli and body fatigue.
So thrilled everything is going well ❤️❤️🎉🎉

Having just watched the doc’s film of the procedure, I am amazed that she could get out of ICU so quickly, Peg. Thanks so much for the update; I’ll sleep a lot better for having read it! Sending all three of you strength, grit, persistence!

I’m relieved to hear this news. I can’t imagine the pain and med load from this, but hey, she’s got new valves and is on her way to a much better quality of life! You won’t be able to slow her down, now!
