Postop Day 2 - Morning

Overnight, Andrew did great.  He had his first bath, the cerebral oximeter removed, and is no longer on the epi drip.  Once he gets off the dopamine, he'll lose the art line as well.  He also started eating like a normal kid overnight.  He has had no trouble picking up where he left off and is eating the same volume at the same frequency as before surgery, which is really quite impressive.  Many heart babies really struggle with the whole eating thing.  What a kid!

Here's a picture of the little guy this morning.  Much less puffy and looking pretty good!

  2. He looks amazing!!! I can't believe the huge strides that he's making, especially with eating. Sam says it's because he's a boy. ;) Keep it up, Andrew!
