Medical stuff: Dopamine is done. Art line will be removed shortly. Continue feeds and add in nursing if tolerated. One last IV medicine will be stopped in the morning. Andrew is taking two medications by mouth that he will continue for a while at home. He is also on Tylenol for pain as needed. If my chest has been pried apart, I'd want something a little stronger. 😉
Mom stuff: I was able to hold Andrew for about two hours this afternoon. It is so fun to feed him, talk to him, read to him, and see him more alert.
I think his doctors are pleased with his recovery. I know I am happy as can be. This morning, Dr Teodori, Andrew's surgeon, told us to get his room ready at home. The time may be getting close.
Hooray! I'm glad he's doing so well. What a sweet little boy that's joined your family. I can't wait to meet him!
