Here is Greyson right after surgery. This is what we saw as soon as we got to see him. Thank to another heart mom's journal I knew somewhat to expect. It doesn't make it much easier but at least we had an idea. We had an idea of all the tubes he would have attached to him and all the drips he would have.
Here is Greyson the next day once he was extubated and could have his paci. He got to eat that afternoon too and that made him pretty happy.
Apparently he was done with the IV and thought it would be a good idea to chew it out. ;D
It was so nice to finally see this smile again. Granted typically we get bugger smiles then this one but what can you expect. Who really wants their picture taken when they are recovering from open heart surgery.
He was pretty excited to have this dinosaur from sissy's visit to the STL science center...or maybe it was the fact that the doctors had just told us we could go home...or maybe that he no longer had drain tubes in.
We are so glad to have our little man with us. He is a fighter. We are happy to have one surgery behind us but still worried about the next one. I try not to dwell on it or think too much about it and just enjoy my little boy. It will be here and gone before we know it.
