Yesterday Nathan forgot he just had heart surgery. He was walking, crawling, bending, talking, laughing and even road around on a tricycle. Seriously how can he do this?? He is on the road to a full recovery for sure.
He is still in junctional though. And has 1st degree heart block. So we will be here for awhile. The pacing wires are still in. He has an echo today along with a chest x-ray.
Overnight we had a junpy nurse. She was sweet but when Nathan turned over he would losen his finger probe and his oxygen sats would go down. Instead of repositining him she wanted to put him back on oxygen. Well I wanted to make sure he was indeed dropping, which he wasnt...it was the positon of the finger probe. So it was a bit of a fight to keep that oxygen off! Which he hates and I really wanted him to have a good nights rest.
Today the playroom is open! He will LOVE that!
I will post pics of yesterday as soon as Jason gets here.
More to come!

I'm so happy to read that Nathan is working his way back to "normal" life so quickly! These kids are amazing! I know I wouldn't be up playing just a few days after open heart surgery. :) Praying for a swift recovery!
