Our little Baby Girl

Baby Bel before her surgery

Our little girl Isobel went into surgery today on the 06th January 2010 at approximately 1230hrs to correct her Atrial septal defect (ASD). Surgery went very well and her heart has been repaired. The surgeon fixed the hole and her leaky valves. Seeing Isobel wheeled out of the theatre on that huge bed was a a huge relief, I have never felt such weird emotions all at the same time. Seeing all the tubes and bandages stuck to isobel made my heart melt. I felt so sad, but happy at the same time that the operation was successful. Isobel was in surgery for nearly 5 hours.

This is a little snippet so you guys can see little Bell recovering. Sophie will add some more on later.

Sedated in the paediatric intensive care unit immediately after surgery.
