the morning after cath

Sorry there was a void in updates last night.... we had some technical issues and Colby decided he needed a lot of attention. thankfully he seems to be doing much better this morning. We thought everything was cruising along yesterday and then the "heart baby hiccups began". Colby woke up in recovery cranky... no really cranky. O2 Sats began to drop.. his color began to ash and his Sats weren't getting above 65..... time to start the O2..... oh yeah lets get a fever too, 101.9 low grade fever was expected after surgery 101.9 not expected. Colby decided eating probably wouldn't make him feel better so he went on an eating strike for the night too.....

Despite these couple of small issues everything went really well. Colby got moved to a room around midnight. He thought spending 9+ hrs in recovery was cool. In fact he was the only child in recovery for the last 2-3 hrs of his stay so he got a lot of attention... Move to the 6th floor was smooth got him checked in with his new nurses and then he decided to stay awake.... sleep finally found our room around 3:30 and fled when the doctors arrived at 5:00.....

Great news is that he looks really good this AM despite being a drama king for the past 24 hrs. we are waiting for the cardiologist to get out of conference this morning so we can discuss the surgery schedule..... Still hoping to go home today.... we might even take Colby with us.....

the precious angel is sleeping now and Becca is finally getting some rest so I hope everyone wakes up refreshed and ready to roll.

we have some really cute pictures from along the journey but posting them this AM exceeds my current skill set so you will have to wait for Becca to add them. Thank you so much for all of the kind words and prayers over the past couple of days..... We will update again when we know more.....
