Aliyah is in recovery. Everything is going well. The heart is strong and vibrant. The bleeding is not overly extreme, even with all the scarring from the other surgeries. It is as good as they could hope. She will not wake up for another day or so, but should recover more quickly than she did from her VAD surgeries.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Aliyah is almost ready to dance in the rain, take a shower, have a snowball fight, and other normal things. Wonderful indeed.
