Alayna's surgery went extremely well. The surgeon was able to repair her mitral valve so that there is almost no leak. She did awesome before and during the surgery. When she was taken off the heart and lung bypass machine, her heart was weak and still very tired. Her blood pressure was too low and she needed some extra help, so the doctors put her on a special heart and lung bypass machine called ECMO (ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation). She will be sedated until they are able to successfully remove her from the ECMO. She's letting us know she just needs a little more rest!
