Steven before surgery, a special smile time with us!
And the wait begins, we are so thankful for our family and friends that were able to be with us during this very long day...
You can never prepare yourself for what your baby or loved one will look like once you are able to see them out of surgery, but I expected worse!
Wednesday after they had to put the breathing tube back in...
Thursday is the first time we were able to feed him because the breathing tube was removed successfully!
And by Thursday evening most everything was out except for a couple of things...
Early Friday morning was the first time we could hold him...but I do not think that he was ready just yet.
By Friday at noon everything including the central line was removed and we were ready and waiting for our room...
It was so nice to be in the room and for everyone to be able to visit at the same time...
Saturday was even better, Steven began sharing his smiles again and it was just so nice to feel like our baby was back! Watching him sleep so peacefully is something I have missed this week!
Can you believe the progress from Tuesday until today? It is amazing to me. Our sweet mess had open heart surgery this week and he is starting to act like nothing ever happened! I am still not sure when we will be getting out of here. I think at the very latest it will be Monday but I would be more than willing to be discharged tomorrow. Steven's blood pressure has been in the low 100's upper 90's so that is much better than where we were yesterday morning...loving the progress. We are so blessed and thankful for the prayers and you can tell by the pictures that prayers have been heard and answered!!!!
Praise God. I am so happy for you guys. Still praying for recovery. Take care
