Once the drainage tubes were removed he was much happier and we could finally take him off the big pain meds. He also got to get up and go for walks. He loved telling all the nurses HI and naming all the colors he could see. I got several comments on how cute he is and that they wanted to take him home. everyone was so impressed with have happy and cooperative he was the whole time. (well except for taking his meds by mouth)
Enjoying the activity book Aunt Shaylee and Uncle Tj sent.
Thanks guys!!!
I just thought he looked super cute sleeping with his teddy.
Feeling better and the incision looks good.
Finding thing to keep busy
Spending a little time out of bed
I thought it was funny how he was sitting with his legs crossed. A lot of our heart friends said that their little ones sat with their legs crossed after surgery. I wonder why that is?
At this point he was cleared to go home heart wise but he hadn't pooped for about 8 days and was really backed up. They had to try about 5 different meds/procedures to get things moving again. Poor little guy, but he was a trooper through it all.
After he finally pooped we were cleared to go home after only 5 days in the hospital. It was amazing how fast he started feeling better. He took it easy for the first day home but was up trying to run around by day 2. It was impossible keeping him still. He has 6 weeks of restrictions while his sternum heals.
