Peter - Carepages - July 10th, 2007

Dropping you all an update from Colorado Springs! Yep, I got to the hospital this morning to find out we were being discharged. After running around to pack up, clean the room at the Ronald McDonald House and get John up to Denver - we boogied on out of there and home in time for dinner (thank you Kristen Z!). Peter continues to do well, and improving with his feedings. I am confident that as he continues to heal from being on a ventilator, he will do better and better. It is amazing to think 8 days ago he was having open heart surgery and tonight he is asleep upstairs! We will be setting up follow up appointments with his pediatrician and cardiologist so as to baseline him post-surgery in Colorado Springs. It is so exciting to get started with his therapy again and watch him take little or big steps forward. It will take us a few days to get back into the routine, and John is not excited to be sleep deprived again. We hope one day Peter can actually nurse so that it will be easier on all of us! Thank you again for all your support, prayers and encouragement. I will try posting some photos in the next couple of days, and will continue to post updates through out Peter's recovery. I will likely go back to a weekly schedule. Now I'm going to go stare at my beautiful and wonderful little sleeping angel. HUGS! catherine
