2 weeks

It has been 2 weeks since our sweet little baby had his 1st open heart surgery... He is doing well! He had a few funny things happen after we got home like his red skin tone/sweating but all that was checked out and determined to be fine. Then on this past Sunday he started being very fussy and not sleeping well at all finally I took him in on Tues. to just have him checked over and he was found to have an ear infection most likely due to being on the ventilator so we are treating that and today he seems to be a lot happier! He is eating like a champ in fact he can't get enough to eat! He is army crawling all over the place and playing with all the kids so he is almost back to normal!! He weighs 19lbs5oz which is only a few ounces less than before surgery so weight loss hasn't been an issue for him!! I know I haven't posted much about the surgery itself or what was found/done. We will know more after our appt. with Dr.Kaine our Cardiologist on May 19th, but they did have to cut over the pulmonary valve which overtime will start to leak and need to be replaced the general time frame we are told is anywhere from 5 to 20 years we just won't know until we see his numbers creeping up, while it wasn't the news we were hoping for we are just so happy that this surgery is done and it was as successful as it could have been and that Maccoy is here with us happy and healthy!!! I can't believe how fast he has healed? It is so Amazing!!
