One Week Home

This cutie boy is chugging along with recovery. He actually slept pretty well last night, just getting up once to use the bathroom and then went right back to sleep - yay! He is moving around more easily and having fewer episodes of 'discomfort' (hard for us to know exactly what is wrong during these times as he insists everything is fine : / ). His incisions also looked like they were moving in the right direction this morning when we took off the dressings - yay again!
Yesterday we did notice he was more puffy in his face, so we called cardiology to check in. We are praying the extra dose of diuretics yesterday and today will get him back on track in that regards as well. Poor kid has to put up with us staring at him directly in the face trying to decide if there's a change or if we are crazy. He puts up with it pretty well.
We are also praying he continues to improve eating and drinking as it tends to bother him to get food/liquids through his feeding tube. It is certainly a challenge to get the recommended amount of fluids in each day. Thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers! It is a great source of encouragement to know we have so many lifting up our sweet boy to our God who loves him so much. We do believe this is part of Andrew's physical healing as well.
