Egleston

What a day. Both Amanda and I are exhausted at this point from not sleeping much last night and all of the emotional waves we are riding. We feel relieved with where things stand right now.
Baby Koch is settled in very nicely over at Egleston. She has a nice little setup in her pod in the CICU and has been very stable and content. They have continued giving her only the lidocaine through an IV drip thus far and actually reduced the dosage some from the initial starting dosage. She is doing very well and her heart is beating pretty well with the meds. I have heard multiple doctors say today that all has gone smoother and better than expected. From the delivery to the echo of her heart at Egleston, they have been pleased so far. They confirmed again that her heart is structurally great with no issues and the problem is with the electrical system of the heart. That is a big plus that there are no physical structural defects there also to add complexity. We are on a wait and see approach with her currently before doctors make any big decisions on any next steps.

We haven't decided on the name yet but it will be coming very shortly. We've narrowed it to a few.

Attaching a couple pics of her in her bed.
