Well it seems that it is indeed a stomach bug that Ethan caught and now he's passed it on to me and Dan as well. :-( Good news is that Ethan seems to be feeling better today, and so do I so hopefully it was just a 24 hour thing for me. Dan's still asleep so I don't know how he's feeling, but he had a rough night last night. Please pray that this passes quickly from our family so we can get back to trying to get Ethan back on schedule after surgery. Our discharge papers and other friends with HLHS babies have all said it often takes a few weeks to get back on schedule with feeding, sleeping and playing after this 2nd surgery.
Tomorrow morning Ethan goes back to the pediatrician to get his chest tube sutures removed, so we're excited about that! One more step towards his healing from the surgery! And next week we go for a checkup with Ethan's cardiologist to have an echo to make sure his heart is still functioning well from the surgery.
Tomorrow is also the day for baby girl Annabelle Butcher (http://www.babygirlbutcher.blogspot.com/) to have her first heart surgery for HLHS, so please be keeping her and her family and medical team in your prayers. Thanks!
