Home for Christmas

Brodie got out of the ICU on Monday the 22nd. It didn't take long for him to get back to his happy self. However he does seem to be in more pain after this surgery than the first one. But that should all go away in about a week.

Being in the hospital for so long, makes you hate anything that looks like it was hospital issued, so Joe and I decided that we were going to make blankets for all the kids in the cardiac unit for Christmas.

Brodie and his "sleigh" getting reading to pass out all of our presents, we made 14 blankets for all the kids in Inpatient and the CICU.

On Christmas Eve our doctor surprised us with the best Christmas present of all. He said that we were getting discharged and that we would be spending Christmas at home. I think that Brodie was the most excited about being home. His little eyes lit up right away and he just couldn't stop smiling. That was followed by the longest nap i have ever seen him take.
