Her heart rate has come down from 190 beats a minute to 160 but she is still in danger of cardiac arrest due to the strain her entire cardiac system is under. She will remain in critical care and hopefully we'll see further improvement over the next few hours. She is by no means out of the woods but it's a few small steps in the right direction.
