Well,
Aine went in for another open heart surgery today at about 3:00 pm. Her shunt was not open as it should be so she was not getting enough oxygen. So, they replaced the shunt that was orginally placed with a larger shunt. From what I understand, they left the rest of the heart alone (meaning she will need to have the hole repaired when she is older & possibly have a larger shunt placed).
It was a pretty scary ordeal and I do not want to go through that ever again!
We are at this time (9:00 pm) waiting for the Dr to come up and talk to us about the surgery and what to expect from this point on (future surgeries, recovery time, etc).
I will update you further when I have more information on our little princess as she is still in the operating room being monitored for bleeding.
