Liam's Home!!!

Liam is home!!! 5 days after surgery and he is home, thank you all for all the prayers and support! we greatly appreciated them.They took his chest tubes out on Friday morning and moved him to the step down unit at 12 in the afternoon. It has just moved along so fast! Liam was not happy with those tubes in and when i went to see him in the step down unit and he gave me the biggest smile for the first time. I am sorry i haven't updated but i have been with him every second since and taking care of him holding him and feeding him. He is just a strong boy. Liam has headaches they call Glenn Headaches and he is on tylenol for that. I can't stand to see him in pain, and to see him cry just breaks my heart. They gave him another xray on Saturday and after that they planned to dishcharge him either Sunday or Monday, but he had no problems and discharged us Sunday afternoon and we were home by 8 pm Sunday. Liam was so glad to be home, and see his own bed and his sisters and brother. He woke up a few times last night but slept in this morning and he is so happy to be home. We are too!!! God Is Good. Liam has to go back and see his surgeon they are suppose to call today with the appointment and i have to make an appointment for next week also with his Cardiologist and make 1 more appt with his peditrician. I will be posting pictures soon, I couldnt get them up in the Hospital. I will be updating soon :)

Update on Liam

Liam was taken off the respirator today. He's on oxygen. He is puffy and swollen and his leg is swollen because of previous surgeries and his veins are narrow. He's in pain and on morphine. He's resting right now on pain meds. I'm staying in his room watching him. Tomorrow they will see if they will remove the chest tubes. Tomorrow there will be more updates, but pictures will have to be posted later. Trying to get pictures.
