Day 52: Going Home Definitely!

We are going home definitely. Gerald had a bowel problem yesterday that is why they canceled our "going home" plans. However, the nurses make sure that we got all his medications ready. He has nine different kind of meds and two of them will be wean off in couple weeks. Also, they gave us nine cases of milk. Aren't they nice? I was very thankful that they do that. I really appreciated whatever help we can get. Anyway, last night the nurse practitioner was concerned that Gerald was having a constipation problem and emesis. I told her that that is his normal problem for almost 3 years now. She laughed at me actually, but that is the truth. That is the reason why we give him miralax or prune juice every morning to resolve his constipation problem. For his emesis I don't know what to do with that. Others said that his feeding tube also might contribute to his gouging plus he has acid reflux. He is on zantac again but higher dose this time since he is a lot bigger now.

Anyway, overall the heart surgery (FONTAN PROCEDURE) itself went well. He looks really good now and playing when his awake. He smiles a lot, thats got to be a good indication that he is feeling real well:).

I would like to extend our gratitude to all the doctors and nurse that took care of Gerald. Thank you very much, without your caring and loving job, we won't be here as Gerald and our family now. Thanks a lot!
