Holding Steady

Landon has continued to do well the last few days and we haven't had any more surprises (yay!). He's been sleeping really well although sometimes it takes him a while to calm down from some of the not fun parts- diaper changes, administering meds, x rays, changing the dress on his central line, etc. There are lots of things to hate, so I don't blame him! He's just so cute when he's peaceful that you can't help but hate it for him when he's upset- I guess that probably goes with any kid/parent.

Yesterday was Gary's birthday and it was pretty low key- we didn't do much yesterday but Saturday some of our friends from Co Springs came up to surprise him and we went out to dinner. Since things got so hectic while we were in the hospital in Co Springs and then we came up here, we haven't seen most of our friends in a few weeks. It was great to spend a few hours away from the hospital and enjoy hanging out with them. It makes me excited to get back home to our community and bring our boy with us!

I may have already mentioned this, but once Landon starts eating again, how he does with that will basically be his ticket out of here as long as everything else stays the same. If he picks up where he left off as far as eating goes, then he should have no trouble going right back to it and getting out of here soon, which means we could be going home by the end of the week. We're hopeful, but we know how quickly things can change! Right now we are just so grateful that God has sustained him and helped him heal so quickly! I'm in awe that he had open heart surgery just a week ago and the only pain killer he's on right now is Tylenol! Landon continues to be a trooper and God continues to be good!
