I slept in today because I got absolutely no sleep last night. The stress level is high! I should be resting up because I know once I get him home I will never sleep and I will be a constant watch guard at his bedside. His nurse this evening was very nice and so sweet. She said that he would be weened from one of his cardiac medicines by the morning and he was already down to one litre of oxygen. The last time she saw him was the day after surgery when he was swollen and his chest was left open. She said he was looking so good and cute! He has become attached to his pacifier and I am sure we are going to have a good time trying to get him weened off that thing. I also spoke to Dr. Kanter, the surgeon, today and he said that he is looking better everyday. He still has the fluid on his lungs and depending on who you ask it is either looking the same or a little better. At least nothing is looking worst. Many thanks to God and all who have been praying for him.
I had a dream this morning that he said his first words "Love you" (I woke up in tears). He would only say it for me and Dad and no one would believe that he said it. It was like the singing frog from the Bugs Bunny cartoons.
I have a follow up appointment in the morning with my doctors so I am going to "try" to get some sleep. I can't thank you enough for the prayers. Please keep them coming. Love and miss you all!

forgot to mention that he went from weighing 2.7 kg to 3.0 kg :)
