A Brand New Day

We made it through our first night!

Santi was up every hour and a half to two hours asking for water and milk. He's still on a fluid restriction so all I can give him is the damp sponge on a stick, which I kindly refer to as a "sponge-pop." He gets upset at first because it's not even close to what he actually wants, but then he realizes there are a few drops of water on that sponge and he sucks the hell out of it. 

He also had a slight fever throughout the night. It lingered around 102 a little too long so his nurse had a cooling blanket on him most of the night.  

Overall it was a good night. Actually it was like the greatest night ever. No emergencies. No bleeding. Minimal crying. We both slept, a little. It was really more than I could ever want for our first night post-Fontan.
