New diagnoses and new surgery date
This all might be alot of info to taken in but I wanted to make sure that at least you are informed.
Diagnoses have been revised to Double Outlet Right Ventricle, Unbalanced AV Canal, Mitral Atresia, large ASD, and tricuspid valve regurgitation.
Cassiana will leave at about 6:30 AM for surgery and will spend most of the day in surgery. The procedures being done are pulmonary artery transection, tie off pulmonary valve, Blalock Taussing Shunt to create new pulmonary blood flow, and attempt to repair the tricuspid valve.
We have been able to hold her a few times and will get to hold her a few more times before she goes to surgery. After surgery it will be awhile before she will be in our arms again. She will be on a ventilator and sedated for several days. She is expected to be in the hospital until at least August and will probably need to stay longer than that.
