Max is doing well! Today has been a big day for him. They took out his pacer wires this morning as well as the stables and bandages from his incision. It doesn't look nearly as gruesome as I expected! They also stopped the last of the I.V. heart meds he was on, as well as one of his pain meds. And he is on room air! No nasal cannula, no breathing tube! His face is clear of tubing, and it is so precious! I'll post a picture later.
He is having some pretty serious withdrawals from his pain meds, so they have him on a weaning schedule using Methadone and Adavan. Once they get the withdrawal under control, they will let us start working on bottle feeds again.
The other kids are doing well. We are trying to get them back to a normal schedule. They have been with Doug's parents since Max's surgery. Doug and I left the hospital early yesterday to make it to Makayla's t-ball game! She did great, I think she is going to be a championship ball player when she gets older! We took both Gunner and Makayla out to play putt-putt golf, and then had a picnic lunch. Then Daddy had a baseball game last night.
Gunner was less than thrilled to go to daycare this morning, but he gets over that quickly, his bestie Armani is there to play with. He probably won't want to go home when daddy gets there to pick him up this afternoon.
I'm taking more vacation to be here at the hospital with Max. I'm planning to go back to work on Wednesday, as long as Max is doing as well as he is right now. Right now, it is time for me to hold my baby, so I'll post pics later!
