Doing great! A whole bunch of people at rounds this morning. The CVICU team was signing off to the 3 West team. We are now in our nice 3 West Room 3241. We are really excited to be up here. We don't have to leave for report, we can eat with her in her room and (her favorite) we can sleep with her in her room. She was able to get rid of several lines this morning. Now all she is hooked up to is her heparin drip and her feeding tube. She actually was able to put a real shirt on today. She will probably be off the heparin in a couple of days, leaving just the feeding tube and Berlin. Every day her mood gets a little better.
Upon leaving the CVICU, it is hopefully the only time we will say, "Hope to see you soon." Meaning, the next time we see them will be with her new heart, not complications. We are really ready for our family to be back and missing them terribly! We are definitely more equipped to handle everyone in this bigger room. Also, with Lindsey going to the playroom, now all the kids can go together.
Small set back. After the transfusions she had a few weeks ago, they re-run the anti-body test to see what her levels are. They came back positive meaning now they will need to test the donor heart for the same thing. Before she was negative and the donor possibilities were wide open, now they will have to be a bit more selective on the type of donor. In the past, Sierra has had a few complications with the anti-body rejection.
We haven't had any news from Sierra at transplant camp, but I am sure she is having a ball!! Looking forward to seeing her on Saturday.
Dr Bernstein (Heart Failure Dr) and Dr. 'Katz' Meada.
Katz is the Surgeon who has done all the work on Lindsey and Gage and will do the transplant
She took 1 bite, which was quickly captured on camera

She is there! 3W Room 3241
