We (me and my sister Stacy) were able to come into Zayne’s cardiac ICU room. There were still a team of people working on her. The new heart still needs to recover from surgery and adapt to its new home. Zayne’s vascular system needs to recover from surgery and adjust to the new heart.
Zayne is still being sedated, is on a ventilator, is being given blood and lots of other medications. I count 10 pumps, but Stacy tells me not to count them.
There are 3 drainage tubes and a pacemaker. She has two dedicated nurses that have not stopped working on her since we showed up an hour ago. Other specialists and docs come into the room.
This will be a long road to recovery.
So good to see her!! Sending healing vibes for her recovery and ongoing developing relationship with her new heart.
Hi Randy, Thank you for sharing these updates. I can’t imagine how scary this is for you. But, it sounds like Zayne is in the best hands possible. I look forward to seeing updates of her out and about on new adventures very soon! ❤️🩹❤️💝
Hi Beth – this transplant is much worse for Zayne. She shouldn’t remember any of it. Thanks for commenting. I keep thinking that I need to reach out so we can get together.
