Quick update

Quick update on the day. Faith made it out of surgery and did really well. She has we breathing tube out and is already drinking water. Of course-these children love water and they want it immediately after surgery. She had a hole between the bottom two chambers of her heart that the surgeon closed. They decided to just do one case today for times sake. 
Faiths momma is with her. She is a widow...her husband died when she was 6 months pregnant. Faith is 1 and a half now. She decided to name her Faith because she, as a now single mom, would need faith to handle what lay ahead of her. 
We are discussing the patients they saw today and making more decisions now. 
I am tired! The first case is always stressful. There are so many people and things take longer to work out. But we did it and hopefully tomorrow there will be a few less people in the ICU :) I think it was about 100 degrees as one point in the room.
