Maya's VSD Surgery - Wednesday

Maya's surgery is over, and the doctor is very pleased! He said that she's doing better than he expected. We found out that she also has an ASD (atrial septal defect), but he left that open because it can used as a "safety valve". Obviously, the next 12-24 hours are very critical. She will be monitored very closely before they decide if they can take her of the ventilator. Right now, she's still under sedation. She should be waking up in the next 2-4 hours.
