6-28-12 Day of Surgery:
This is Brida about 1 hour after surgery:

She doesn't look as bad as we were expecting.  The inflammation is definitely noticeable, but not as bad as some other kids we saw.  She has a the following lines in place:

• Two PICC lines to monitor pressure and can be used for IV
• Breathing tube
• Chest drain
• Foley catheter
• Two Pace leads (in case an arrhythmia develops)
• An IV line in her left hand
• An IV line in her left foot
• An IV line in her umbilical
• EKG leads

This is all the supporting equipment:

This equipment includes (from right to left):

• A cerebral oximeter to check for brain oxygen sat.
• A ventilator
• Patient monitoring system (previously existing)
• Bed and warmer (previously existing)
• 10 syringe pumps to administer drugs and blood (they are returning some of her own blood back since she needed a transfusion as part of the bypass process during surgery).
