Post Op Clinic Appointment

Just thought I'd let you all know that Thomas had his post operation clinic appointment today and it went really well!!! His oxygen saturation levels are 86 compared to 72 before his operation, his weight is now 20lb 4.5 oz so he's regained the weight he lost in hospital and added some more so that's really good news. His heart scan went well and showed good heart function so all in all we're really pleased :-) They said the bump that he has got on his scar is fairly common and should disappear as he grows, but if it doesn't he has got to have another operation in a few years anyway so they will see how it is after that one.

WHAT a little superstar we have!!!!!

We're soooo pleased with his progress post his second op. He is just such an amazing little boy and we can't believe he is one year old tomorrow. In fact this time last year I was in throws of labour - ouch!

Reaching his first birthday is such a milestone, when we were diagnosed with his condition back in October 2005 we really daren't think about this day, BUT it is tomorrow, the house is suitably decorated with banners and balloons and it's all systems go for his birthday party on Sunday.

I'll let you know how the birthday weekend goes......

Happy Birthday for tomorrow to our very precious, beautiful little rascal Thomas Peter Hooks!!! Yippee!!
