Today has been the most wonderful day yet. Other than being in CICU Henry had a normal day. He did what all babys do only with a little less crying. He is looking good, sounding good, and his numbers continue to be good. The doctors have taken him off all heart regulating medications to see how he can do on his own and so far everything has gone well. His oxygen remains in the 90s but he is reciecving a little boost from a nasal canula. They said it takes a few days to build a reserve. His heart rate is in the 120s and we have had no irregular rythems in the last 48 hours. They said that his recovery has been exactly like they had hoped with no abnormal issues. During the day the sun shines through our window (a window is a huge deal around here) and Henry is even getting some sunshine. Below are afew pictures from the last few days and at the bottom you can see a short video of me feeding Henry. It is scary picking him up and moving him around because of his healing scars but I am even getting used to it. Debbie is like a natural when it comes to working around the IVs and Tubes. She has been able to feed several times today and even rock Henry on her shoulder.
We continue and will continue to say thank you for everyone that is checking on Henry. We feel like the most supported people in the world.
Cheers,
Andy/Drew
