Recovery Day 11 - Heart Good, as other organs struggle

The doctors and surgeons are happy with Lyla's transition from the heart lung machine back to normal heart function, but some of her other organs have struggled in the process. Her right lung has struggled to recover, although she is making slow progress. Her lymphatic system has been damaged during her procedure, and has whats called a kyia thorax (sp?), which leaks fat from her food into her body. And her kidneys are having a tough time after a urinary tract infection, she is still being supported by lasix to help her pee.

Along with these, she has a temperature, and has been put on isolation. Things look better for lyla everyday, but she's recovering so slowly, its hard to see the progress on a daily basis.
