Home sweet home

I didnt want to post we were home yet because I didn't want to jinx it!! But I'm hoping we're in the clear for a little while:) So Were home:) life so far for Brody has proved to be Much better!! He is a happy growing boy! He is such a happy little man ( most of the time) we are still having issues with him taking a bottle... When they do open heart surgery everything you can imagine is very small and in the process sometimes the vocal cords can be nicked.... The vocal cords are right at the base of the top of his scar where they started his surgery. This may be the culprit to Him refusing the bottle, but again really not a big deal! Brody is doing so much better this time around...we have a cardio appt next week for another go round with everything.. Echo, EKG, bloodwork etc.... Praying everything looks good and no new surprises! We did go into radiology at PCH to check his lungs,an X-ray to following up on the chylethorax. Lungs look beautiful.. Going to continue to low fat formula to ensure his lymph nodes are healed! Hopefully he will be able to go back onto a regular diet soon! We are still being very cautious about going out with him... A small cold could mean a long hospital stay... So better safe! We haven't had many visitors either for the same reason....flu season is almost here:( everyone get a flu shot! Charli is getting hers this weekend... But that's my secret... She won't know about it until we get there... Less drama that way! Brody did go in for a well baby visit and was due for his 4 month well baby vaccines... Took all 4 like a champ... Didn't even cry... Heart babies have a outstanding tolerance for pain apparently! Life is good... We live day to day and the past few days have been great!! Hoping for more smiley days for our boy! Settling into home is so easy when you've been at the hospital for sooo long!! Ohh yes and one more note.... Brody has two of everything, we have a two story house so it's just easier, two swings... Two baby chairs... One baby popasaun chair... A nap nanny... And a baby chair that vibrates.... And where does he want to sleep??? In our bed:) I say whatever he wants he can have!!! One more thing.... The congenital heart walk of Phoenix is Nov 4th!! Save the date and look for a link to join Brody's team and help raise money to help fight congenital heart defects! Will be a good time, love to all!!
