Feeling Awesome!


3 weeks out and Blake is feeling absolutely fabulous. He is running and jumping around, chasing his sister, and full of energy!

It's funny, but before the surgery, we never thought Blake was sick or slowed down by his heart. Before the Fontan, we used to be able to hear Blake breathing heavily from wherever we were in the house, and the other day we were playing Hide-N-Seek and I really couldn't find him because I couldn't hear him. The little things like his pink lips, and his lack of heavy breathing, not to mention is oxygen saturations of 97, really are making a world of difference.

We were able to stop one of the diuretics last week, and this week his cardiologist is going to reevaluate the dosage on his other one. He will also get the stitch from his last chest tube removed this week. He still gets pissy at us when he can't have as much as he wants to drink, but we know it's only 3 more weeks, and we are all counting the days.

We are counting our blessings for this healthy little boy every day!
