We brought Henry home yesterday Afternoon! He is doing great. Shanna and I on the other hand forgot what it was like to get up every 2 hours. Henry is use to a very quick response time from the nurses at CHLA.
Henry is taking Tylenol when necessary for pain and is on one other medication to ensure his lungs stay clear. I find this amazing given he had heart surgery on Wednesday.
His only physical limitation is he can't be supported by his arms or lifted under his arms for 8 weeks. We are also working hard to make sure he does not pick up a cold as that would pose some risks to his heart over the next 8 weeks.
Henry will be making weekly trips to CHLA to see his cardiologist and to followup with the surgeons.
Henry is a minor celebrity with his brothers Ben and Will. I will post some pictures tomorrow.
