Countdown to Home


So here's the update for the day. Christopher is doing awesome. He is a rock star and my hero. Dr. Chang did an ultrasound of his heart today and said it looked great. Everything is working awesome and just like it should. He is only on his blood pressure meds, and a med to make his heart pump more efficiently. No pain meds at all or diuretics to make him pee. He does have a small separation on his incision, which started about a week ago. It is healing nicely, but he is on antibiotics for it which gave him thrush, a yeast infection on his neck, and pretty bad diaper rash. Dr. Chang stated that if it weren't for that little "wound" we would've been discharged today. So he just wants to make sure that it's all healed before we head back to Warrenton. On monday Dr. Lagras will make sure his pacemaker is working really well and make any necessary adjustments. Then we will be on our way. We have to learn a lot of stuff on Sun or Mon morning before we go home. It is so intimidating all the things this little man has going on. I will keep everyone posted on how everything is going this weekend and once we get home. Thanks for everything you all have done for our little family. We are so grateful for all of you.
