I'm finally ready to share the pics of Sasha post surgery...

| Picture your child here. See why I cried a bucket of mommy tears? |

| "Ah, my own room...finally!!! Now can we lose this silly heart monitor?" |
Today is day 3. He is down to a heart monitor, the line in his neck that they access on occasion for medication, and minimal oxygen as needed. The chest tubes and the pacemaker came out today (both were high on our list of hardware to lose :). Sasha is in a regular room, and he will probably remain in the hospital for a few more days. Apparently some lung collapse is normal after open-heart, so that is the deciding factor for him to come home. He has to undergo some chest PT periodically throughout the day. And once his lungs appear to be in good shape, we should be heading home. Today, he walked around a bit, played in the playroom for a few, and we actually got him laughing and singing. Gary is on guard duty tonight, and I will take over in the morning for my 24 hr shift :)
"Thank you" cannot even begin to express our gratitude for prayers!
Love to you all!!!
