All standard for heart surgery: they left her chest open because she is swollen and puffy. They need the fluids to drain before they can close her up. It should be about 2 days. She has a clear sterile plastic over her chest and they've covered it with a blanket.
The swelling will go down and she will start to look better. This picture really doesn't show the worst of it, which is better for all of you.
Shoshana, we are all praying for that beautiful girl!! We are sending hugs and kisses your way! With G-d's help she will have a quick and complete refuah shelaima!!!
