The dressing came off so the scar can breathe. 
A much-needed bath was given and the last line was pulled.
I was taught how to carry him and we took a few walks.
It was determined that Evie's left vocal cord was paralyzed from the surgery and we went downstairs to do a swallow study (an awesome test where they take multiple x-rays while the baby drinks a bottle to determine where the fluid is going). We have a few eating restrictions, but luckily he can still nurse.
And then they sent us home. HOME! Post-op day four and we are at HOME.
It's all a little surreal. I definitely wasn't expecting it. But I'm so excited to be HOME with my boy. Woo-hoo!
That's AMAZING!!!! Couldn't be happier for your fam.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Heather! That is such a wonderful, wonderful miracle. I am so thrilled for you! Do you need groceries? Someone to watch Talmage, even just in your courtyard? What can I do to help you?
ReplyDeleteNothing short of a HUGE MIRACLE and BLESSING, from a LOVING Heavenly Father! Thank you!

ReplyDeleteYou make me cry every day! He is such a miracle and dang, he is so precious. Kiss that baby for me, I just want to eat his little face!
ReplyDeletewe are in shock...but the kind of shock that has us grinning like Cheshire cats and shaking our heads in amazement. A few of your friends have already used the word miracle which it is, but I shall use the word blessed...you and James have been blessed by Heavenly father to have all the help needed to get your dear little boy through this, I am so very pleased for you big hugs to you all xxxx

ReplyDeleteWe're so happy for you! We prayed all would go well and I put your names on the prayer roll! So exciting! Heather you are such a good example to me, I just enjoy reading your blog and your testimony. xo
ReplyDeleteWOOO HOOO!!!! Go Evie! That is truly a blessing and I'm sure that it helps the whole family relax that he is home in his own bed and smiling that terrific smile. Keep getting stronger, little cousin- we will bring Carter to come play with you one day soon!!!
