blackberry update

I'm writing this from my blackberry so please pardon anything that is gramatically incorrect! Elle's first full day post op had both Lee and myself worried. Her blood pressure was extremely low all day long. They never had to give her more blood, but they did give her blood agents. This helped temporarily raise her b.p. We were also praying for pee all day long. One of the side effects of being put on the by pass machine is that it messes up kidney function. Some people have to go on dialysis because of it. That thought is never too far from our minds but thankfully around 7:30 this evening elle went to the bathroom. Lee and I were giddy when we saw it coming down the tube! By late this evening, elle's bp had risen and she was peeing - a complete 180 from this morning. She woke up a few times during the day and I will never be able to get the look she had on her face out of my mind. She has 2 tubes down her throat so she can't cry and her arms are tied to the bed so she can't get to the ivs or tubes coming out of her. She would roll her head over to look at lee and myself with a look of pure terror on her sweet little face. Big tears would start forming in her eyes and she would look up at us as if to say "please take the pain away.". I couldn't stand to see her in so much pain- I broke down whenever she would wake up and look at us. I'm crying now just thinking about it. This evening the doctors all agreed to keep her sedated through the evening to keep her blood pressure up and her kidneys functioning. The plan tomorrow is to take it slow and see what elle will allow them to do. They might remove the breathing tube but that all depends on her. Please pray for our little girl as she continues to recover from surgery.
