Rumor has it...

We may go home on Monday. Well, not home, home- to our home for the month. His drainage has decreased to the magical level and because we have somewhere in town to stay they are going to set us free! They are planning to pull his chest tubes tomorrow and then keep him overnight for observation. If everything looks good they will discharge him!!
We will have to come back every few days for X-rays to make sure there is no additional fluid build up. He will continue on the fat free diet for at least 6 weeks. Hopefully after that we will think of Jack's heart surgeries as a distant memory! 
God has blessed us so much- not just on this surgery but the other two as well. I told one of our favorite nurses that I was nervous to leave and she said that he is so much more stable than he's ever been! That's a great feeling!
Yesterday some of the players and Charlie from the Riverdogs came! They were so kind; and they played and got to know each child and family individually!
Jack is back to being Jack. He plays hard, dances to music, talks and is happy again! What a relief!
