It is SO good to be home. We've not done very much these last few days but it's still been pretty full on. Both boys seem pretty excited to see each another and Thomas seems really happy to be home. We ventured out for the first time yesterday to the library and then the barbers so they're both looking much smarter now. It's the first time we've been into town without the buggy board for Thomas. We took it easy and he did say he was tired at one point and said he was puffed once BUT he walked farther than he's ever done before and he's not totally recovered yet. He still has the back end of the cold and his body needs to repair itself after the surgery but he's doing great and it's so exciting to see him do things he couldn't do before.
We headed back to BCH today for Thomas' check up. I was nervous but it went well. The echo showed no fluid while he was lying down and only a teeny tiny bit when he was sitting up. The doc was happy and not worried. We're going back next Friday for another check and he's already requested an appointment for 6 weeks so he's not expecting anything different next week. Thomas' sats were 89/90 - the doc said they are likely to go up a bit more when he's fully healed. His INR was 2.8 and he his weight was back up a bit. The doc said his fenestration was working well and 'he has a perfect left ventricle', this is always really good to hear when this one pumping chamber is doing the job of two. I don't think we could have asked for more from the appointment considering where we were this time last week.
