She is still very unwell and her condition is extremely fragile.
Her lungs suffered stress during pregnancy because of the underlying heart issues and are still quite 'wet'. This is limiting the amount of oxygen her lungs can infuse into her blood. She is currently receiving as much oxygen as they can give her and her levels are a bit lower than the doctors would like them. The are giving her medication to raise her blood pressure, which will assist with oxygenation. The trick will be to lower the blood pressure without losing oxygenation.
It is difficult to predict how long it will take for her lung function to improve.
We are settling in to see how she responds over the coming hours.
Thanks Justin for the updates. So pleased that her heart is doing what it needs too - what a tough little girl you are Pippa! Now girl, focus on drying out those lungs...
