Post Op - Day 2, update

Baby stepping our way to CV Acute. 

Santi made great progress today. He stood up, with assistance and lot of screaming, for about a minute. He also sat up in a chair twice. 15 minutes the first time, 30 minutes the second.

Aside from the three diuretics he's on, getting him moving is the only way to help clear all of the fluid away from his lungs.  

First time standing post op

Naptime 

He is still very depressed. Which is just about the hardest thing in the world to see. Nothing makes him smile. Not new toys. Not special visitors. Not his favorite movies. Nothing. It's awful. 

I know this is only temporary. I know we will be home soon and soon this will be a distant memory. But for my sweet toddler, every hour is a miserable eternity. 

Please continue to send love and prayers for Santi's happiness and wellbeing. We want to see his smile!
