Our kid is a rock star! Dr. G thinks we will be on our way home tomorrow! I really can't believe it. Eight days after a big big surgery and we may be going home?!?!? What an amazing kid.
He is getting his last dose of IV lasix and then his neck lines will come out. We've had so many issues with those silly neck lines, so I'm very excited about this step. And guess what else? Elijah tore his nasal cannula off early this morning and we just kept it off since he was satting between 92-96% ALL ON HIS OWN! We were expecting his O2 levels to be lower than this when we went home, so this is a nice surprise.
Once we get the nasty neck lines out I'm going to try to put Elijah in a wagon and take him for a ride around the 3rd floor. Dr. G said to push him a bit with the sitting and moving into different positions, so we'll see how he tolerates it. He's just loving being so content and immobile right now. That's our Elijah!
I'll post pics later of our almost wire-free boy.

That's awesome...I'm so excited for you guys. I can't believe how well he is doing...go Elijah go!
Yeah...that the neck line is coming out...that's gotta be uncomfortable...maybe that will help with him moving around more.
Can't wait to hear how the day goes...he'll probably be jumping out of the wagon and rolling down the halls himself!
Praise God!
What wonderful news, Megan. We are all thrilled at how that little rock star is doing. I'm following your blog faithfully to report to everyone how things are going. I sent you a long, heartfelt message on here right after the surgery, but must have done something wrong, 'cuz it never appears. Hope you get this message and that you got our Basket of Goodies last Friday. I'll keep in touch. Mary Lou
yay, yay, yay!!! I am so happy for you guys...just think, if the weather is beautiful on Saturday, your amazing little man can participate in the walk!!!
Lots of love!!!
Samantha
I knew it...Wednesday is your day!!!
There is a light...and you can make it!!!
Getting Elijah out of that room will be great...for both of you!!!
Hey...did they let you snuggle him in his bed??
Hope this makes you have a GREAT day and you should probably start making trips home with all of his goodies (or let Elijah pass the balloons out to other kids on the hall!)
Can't wait to see pics tomorrow of him lounging in his OWN HOUSE!
YEAH ELIJAH!!!
Sending tons of love your way,
Kathy
Elijah is a rock star!! I'm so proud of him. I know he will enjoy getting out of the room for a bit. I can't wait to see the new pics of an almost wire free boy!
