Hannah's PDA surgery went smoothly, and she'll be resting under sedation for the rest of the day. The nurse, surgeon, and anesthesiologist all remarked on how well it went and how well Hannah tolerated it. It may be a couple days before we see improvement from the PDA closure, but her oxygen and CO2 levels have already been pretty good for several days.
Before the surgery, Hannah opened her eyes and looked around a bit. This is the first time I've seen both eyes open.
In the elevator on the way to the NICU, I rode with a couple wearing "Team Hannah" T-shirts, which I had to interpret as a good omen. They were grandparents of another newborn Hannah in the hospital. I welcomed them to the team, of course.
