The Fontan- update 3

Dr. Starnes and the surgical team stopped by for 3.5 seconds to say "he did great!" 

We waited all day to hear those three little words from that insanely talented man. We let out a collective sigh. 

Recovery starts now. 

I've said it before and I'll say it again, surgery is the easy part. Recovery is hard. It's long, arduous, painful, stressful and just no fun. Santi is a toddler. He doesn't know why he hurts and can't move around. He doesn't know why we can't just "go go." It's our job for the duration of his hospital stay to keep him comfortable, happy and on track to go home healthy.  All of the sweet cards and thoughtful gifts Santi received before surgery will certainly lift his spirits and help brighten the rough days ahead. Thank you to our loved ones for being so generous!

Please keep Santi in your thoughts and prayers. Continue to send him love, light and healing energy. He needs it all!
