Maya's surgeon came to give us the word that she came through wonderfully. The operation was quick and nothing new was found of concern regarding the heart. The PDA was closed with a clip and the place the anomalous vein was cut from was both sutured and clipped. The clips are titanium and will be integrated with the body, and as I have no titanium objects, I did not know whether they are influenced by magnetism or not. Turns out they are not. This is important as she will be able to get MRI's in the future with no concerns for the clips ripping out.
They found some areas (5%) of thin lining on the left lung which the Surgeon felt were nothing to be concerned about, but that we will have the Pulmonologist check out anyway and rule out anything to be concerned about.
Updates will follow later as more things to show and tell occur.
