Surgery and Recovery: Doing great!

Hi everyone, I am here in the hospital recovering from my Glenn Shunt Surgery and I am doing very well! My surgery was early Monday morning and we had to get to the hospital at 5:45 am. My mom and dad and I didn't get much sleep Sunday night because the last time I could have a bottle was at 2am and I couldn't fall back asleep once I was done. Once we got checked into surgery, they gave me a baby sized hospital gown that was so cute! Mom and dad said goodbye as Dr. Fehr took me back to the OR and I was such a big boy, I didn't even cry! Around 11:30am, Dr. Huddleston told my mom and dad that the surgery went very well with no complications and no surprises - I think they were very relieved! I got to see them finally around 1:30pm (actually I just heard them because I was a little out of it). I had a really horrible headache all day and into the next morning and I was really miserable. I finally got some milk in my belly and that in combo with my good pain meds made me feel a lot better so I got a lot more sleep on Tuesday. They first had me on some pain/sedation meds and tylenol and some stuff to keep my blood pressure down. I also had an annoying nasal cannula that they took out today - yay! I am now back on my normal blood pressure meds and weaning off my sedation. I am having a little cloudiness in my chest drain due to some fluid put off by my lymph tissue which can happen after a surgery like this. The doctors are going to keep my drain in a little longer to keep an eye on that and make sure it's getting better. I am waiting to poop too and I think once I do I will feel a lot better (and lighter)! My mom and dad have been by my side since my surgery so that makes me feel much safer and I think I may give them a smile tomorrow when I am feeling a little better (and again, once I can poop!) I want to thank all my wonderful friends and family that are thinking and praying for me, you are the best and I can't wait to see you once I am fully recovered!
