We're home!!

Nick and Landon and I returned home yesterday! So far he has been doing well and acting like his old self. He isn't eating quite like he should, but that is expected after surgery. What he doesn't eat, we give him through his tube so he can begin to catch up on growing. It feels great to be home and getting Landon back on his regular schedule.

Landon had his first thunderstorm this morning and he didn't even notice it. It's looking like he may have his second very soon today!

I didn't get a chance to upload his Easter pictures before his surgery, so those are included today. Also, we stopped at Aunt Megan's yesterday for Nick to fix her car and she snapped a couple pictures.

Happy Easter!

One more day

We had been told for a while that we would be coming home today (Sunday), but after some fluid statistics the doctors decided to keep Landon for one more day. His fluids are positive over the last day and they shouldn't be. So, they are trying to decide how much Lasix to send him home on. In order to have the proper dosage for him, they need to observe him for one more day. We are not disappointed with this. We would rather they be confident in sending him home than have them wondering if they are doing the right thing.

Yesterday was a good day for him. He had his last line removed. He spent a lot of the day smiling. He also laughed for the first time!! I missed it with being at a track meet, but he laughed a bit when I got back. It is the sweetest little sound and I can't wait to hear it when his vocal chord is better!

We just can't believe that he is going home within a week of his surgery! He is an incredible little boy and we thank God for him every day!

My team made a HUGE card for Landon! They are great kids!
