She came out okay


The only thing new we found after the surgery was she had developed collateral veins in the lungs. This is the bodies natural way of trying to increase oxygen levels in the body. This is a problem for the surgeons because it causes backflow during the open heart surgery. They injected ceramic into them to close them down.


She has to lay still for about six hours to ensure nothing gets "shaken" up. Hopefully, we will see her eyes in the next couple of hours.

They anticipate we will be home this evening. Jennifer also wanted to let everyone know that Baby and Pink Poodle made it though surgery alright.
