Pre/Post Surgery Pictures

Waiting to go into the OR

This is when we first got to see her after. Still asleep and on the ventilator.
The stickers on her head measure oxygen consumption in the brain. The big tube in her nose is the ventilator. The small tube is the gastric tube. She has 4 IV lines, a catheter, a temperature probe, a pluse ox and the heart rate monitors stuck to her. The red tube in the middle is the chest tube, below the incision bandaid.

Close up, still asleep.

A wake and breathing on her own. She was switched to oxygen through the nose.
She was very fussy so we were trying to comfort her without picking her up.

She has slowly been having lines and wires removed. She has already gotten rid of the two tubes in her nose (replaced by oxygen), the two head stickers, and two IV lines (technically three but one got put back in because she kicked it out). By tomorrow we hope to be down to just the monitors and oxygen and then be move to the CPCU.

She is still very upset and on a lot of pain medications. She is eating, but not great. We are hoping both of these things improve a lot by tomorrow. When I can get a picture of her not crying I'll post a more recent one.
