Evynn is in the CCCU awake & extubated.  She is miserable and on pain meds but clinically doing well.  Her cardiologists & surgeon are pleased so far....

In O.R.

Evynn went into the O.R. at 7:55am.  Dr. Van Arsdale feels it will be a longer than usual Fontan due to her complex anatomy. We will not hear updates until after 2pm most likely.  He called Evynn a 'boarder line candidate', due to the amount of diuretics she requires. He is not confident she will tolerate this way of blood flow, but feels it's the best option for her... If she does not tolerate he will have to 'take it down' back to the way it is now and try something else later.

Fontan rescheduled..

Evynn's Fontan surgery was cancelled for today due to her surgeon needing to be somewhere else.  She has been rescheduled for November 13th.  More waiting...
