We got Home Yesterday

So Monday went really good.. We good some relieving news about Nadia's Heart! Dr. Doyle was very pleased with the pressures in her Lungs, Heart and shunt.... and thinks we can go ahead with the surgery.. he advised to do it as soon as possible before flue season starts and to talk it over with Dr. Kavanaugh .. so maybe beginning of October .. ahhhh i am nauseated!!!!
I let you know when it will be exactly !
Poor Nadia was really miserable after words on Monday.. I couldn't make her get comfortable no matter what i did.. she also had two bloody wet diapers which are common from having a cath in the bladder inserted during the procedure... that led to several more testings to rule out an infections or even something more serious .. thankfully it stopped...and the results came back negative for an infection!!
She had some what of a good night .. she would wake up every hour screaming from the top of her Lungs and cry for the longest time.. i somehow managed to put her to sleep every time she did this!! I have to admit that i missed the Nurses from Pod C..they are specialized in Heart Babies and are defiantly more on top of things.. i didn't get the same feeling this time!!

Nadia was all wired up.. had an IV in her right foot... she was a little Puffy too especially her eyes they were so swollen she couldn't even open them and hadn't had a bowl movement all day ....so i guess all that combined was the reason for her fuzziness!
The very next morning she looked and felt much better..she was sweet loving Nadia again..we got discharged and spend the rest of our day in the bed sleeping... we were both exhausted!!!

Which by the way gave Justin a great opportunity to do what ever he wanted in the house... when i woke up i found him sitting on the couch in his underwear, superman shirt and his karate kid headband.... the Tv Blasting on it's highest volume... chips, juice,carrots & peanut butter sitting on the coffee table .... toys were EVERYWHERE... having the time of his life!! When i told him that i would have made him something to eat if he would just came an got me he answered
" Mom you had a hard and tired Day... u needed to sleep.. don't worry about me i took care of me self... you know like the movie Kevin alone at home" .... i wasn't sure if i wanted to laugh or cry when he said that....! I felt so bad i fell asleep for so long!!

This morning Nadia had rice cereal again and surprisingly she likes it.. i remember Justin spitting it right back at me !! Here are some funny pics i took of her when we introduced it to her for the first time! Keep you updated!!
