Well, the Viagra is to help try and inflate her blood vessels in her lungs. Because her left lung so very small, they can't see how much of it she has because of her instestines and stomach being right on top of it; and her right lung is deflated. Gwen's been doing pretty good, shes now down to 60% on the ECMO. I did get to speak with her doctor yesterday, and he says that the road to recovery will be a very long one. Several, long months in fact. He warns that even after the surgery she may suffer from hypertension in the lungs again, so we might spend a very long time on a ventilator, or worse revert back to the ECMO again. However, I think now that Gwen knows her mommy is right there with her, we won't have to worry about that. My babygirl needed me, and I'm there for her. Hopefully, it won't be long before I can hold her. I never got to hold her at all because of the C-Section and her pediatrians whisked her away so fast.
