happy heart.

A small update on Hector and his heart.
He had his first follow-up appointment after being discharged from the hospital. His echo and ekg both went very well, and the team is very happy with his weight gain and how he is looking! His incision site is pretty much healed with some stitches that have surfaced. They should eventually fall off, they are the dissolving ones but need to be in skin to dissolve. So we shall see how long they take to go away! All in all he is doing really great. Had/ has his first cold! Which I am going to assume it is impossible to keep away colds with his older brother in preschool.
His chest bones should basically be healed now. Tomorrow is 6 weeks after surgery! It is going to be more of a challenge for us to slowly get used to picking him up like a normal baby, after training ourselves not to.
The greatest thing from just yesterday is this, him sleeping with his arms above his shoulders. It is so nice to know that he is comfortable again.



Thank you everyone for reading and sending us your well wishes, they mean a lot!
