Lily had a wild night. The breathing tube came out early last evening and she had the temporary pacemaker removed indefinitely. I say indefinitely because it was used off and on throughout the night as her body gets used to its new heart. She was running a bit of a temperature so tylenol was given to her as well as morphine as it was starting to become evident she was dealing with a small amount of post surgery discomfort. Her fever got up to 101.1 but sometimes this happens post surgery as your body fights off infection or bacteria.
Mom and I are doing great. We discovered that the Hill neighborhood here in St. Louis is only a short drive away. Charlie Gitto's is the best italian restaurant in the world. Only comparable to "The Rosebud" in little italy on Chicago's southside. The only problem is the Hills convenience. Soon Tara and I may have cardiac issues as well. HA!
Today we are looking to leave the recovery room in Cardiac Intensive Care and move to our own room. When this happens we will be able to hang out with Lily a little more comfortably. We'll keep you posted on how that goes.
Also, Tara, Lily, and I want to wish Uncle Ross a happy 23rd birthday.
