Brief Answer:
Looks normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi...from this it looks like a successful surgery and I do not see any reason to get scared and the kid can have a normal life provided she is not having any failure to thrive or any developmental delay or seizures as of now.
if she is having recurrent aspirations and recurrent lung infections or pneumonia then she will require further evaluation please.
