One week post op

Parker is doing pretty good. This post op week he has made some good progress. Hopefully we will be able to leave the PICU tomorrow. The tubes and lines coming out of him have come down considerably, he's down to 2 chest tubes, an arterial line, pacing wires, and his broviac!! He's getting all his medications through his tube and his mouth. He's eating really good now and keeping everything down. We havn't had any puking for four days now. But then again Parker has been screaming a lot and is pretty moody. We think that he is in morphine withdrawal, so he's back on ativan to help and we will just have to wien it down slowly. Poor little guy!! I caught a happy moment of him playing today and he had the rosiest cheeks I've ever seen. He's getting a molar and another front tooth. He officially went off oxygen today, its the first time in almost four months that I can see his face without a big tube across his face!! What a handsome guy!
