Pace Maker

Feb 10th we had to check in at 930 her surgery was scheduled at 11:30 so of course they had to get her vitals and make sure she was well to go into surgery. She also had a Holtor put on the day before and it came back that her pauses increased to some 4 second pauses and with 100 plus pauses all together, so she really needed the pacemaker put in. I was so nervous and you could tell that Kenzie did not want to go she was fighting to go back with Carrie who her carried her back because I couldn't go with her this time so I gave her a hug and a kiss and told her that Mommy loves her and will be waiting for her when she gets out. Its always hard to see your child cry and just want to hold them.
About 45 min into the surgery I had to go to the bathroom I come back and Tyler looks sad and concerned (just writing this makes my stomach ache) I asked whats wrong and he told me the nurse came out and said that she is bleeding a lot and her sats have dropped and they cant get her stabilized this was suppose to be an easy surgery in and out in a day or so. Not my Makenzie she needs to keep the doctors on there toes I guess.
About 5 min later the same nurse came out and said that they cant get her pressures up and she went into cardiac arrest. They took us into the private family room where no family ever wants to be. She then went back to check on Kenzie and came back and said they got her sats back up what a relief. So she left and about 5 mins later she came back with the social worker and shook her head I thought I lost my little girl she said her sats have dropped again and went into Cardiac Arrest again I was shacking and crying and didn't know what to think. She left again to check on her and walked in a few minutes later with Carrie and said they got her on the bypass machine and she is doing good and she is still with us. My heart was in such agony but when I heard they got the Pace Maker in and she is still here with us it was a little more of a relief but I knew we were not out of the woods yet they had to wait to get her off the bypass machine get her sats stabilized and finish the surgery she was gone for 17 minutes total. I guess she just wanted to say hi to her Grandma M that we lost last July. From start to finish it was 35 mins the longest 35 mins of our lives. They were able to get her sats up and off the bypass machine and got done with the surgery I honestly cant remember how long the whole surgery went but it felt like eternity.
They finally got her back into the CICU and got her stabilized so I was the first one to see her. I didn't know what to expect, when I walked in I started to cry. I held her hand and kissed her. But I was so ecstatic that she was still here with us she defiantly has a purpose her. This is the second time that she went into Cardiac Arrest 2 years ago when she went into rejection she went into cardiac arrest that time she was gone for 15 min and came back to us.
The doctors didn't know what to expect when she woke up. but Tyler and I put her in a study it was a hot or cold study randomly drawn and she got the cold study were they put her in a hypothermia state to slow the blood down to her brain so it doesn't swell. when they started that it was so awful to watch she was shivering and shacking so they put her in an induced coma until the study was over. Also with the study they put electrical leads on her head to watch the brain waves.
It was a rough long day but I can not express how thankful I am that she is still here with us it is such a blessing to no that there is a higher power up there and angels watching over us.
