I’m coming home…tell the world I’m coming home! After a long wait, the doc came in and told us the good news! Remi’s PDA fully closed, as designed, and there is no coarctation, narrowing, or stenosis if the aortic arch! She’s in the clear and we’re getting ready to drive home! We thank everyone for all of their support and prayers!
After 50 hours of labor, Amanda delivered Remi Nova Lopez like a boss at 1:58pm under a full moon. She weighed in at 7lbs 7oz and was 20 inches tall. We only had a few minutes of skin to skin because Remi had a lot of fluid in her lungs and needed a CPAP. We’re waiting to go see her in the NICU. And later she’ll have her EKG to evaluate the possible co-arctation.
Remi wishes everyone a Happy Easter. We got some much needed rest last night and we are spending the day with Remi. We arrived this morning during doctor rounds and they confirmed that she will likely be transferred to us in the regular nursery later today as long as she is holding her glucose levels. Amanda and the nurse gave Remi her first bath and Remi seemed to like the water :). The docs also confirmed they still plan to do the full heart evaluation tomorrow and if all checks out, we can take her home tomorrow night!
Amanda and Fabian - you are both amazing. We are all behind you!
