Dylan Update

Well I know it has been almost a month since I have blogged and I apologize. Ever since we got home from the hospital it has been a full time job taking care of Dylan and making sure his recovery goes very well. Greg and I were sitting on the couch last night saying to each other " We cannot believe it has almost been months since Dylan's surgery"!! How time flys.

Dylan is doing amazing and his recovery has been a pretty smooth ride! The first week he was up 3 times during the night since he was used to being woken up in the hospital a bunch of times to do test, blood work, echo's whatever they needed. The doctor said this is normal and would take a few weeks for him to get back on schedule. We had our follow up appointment with the cardiologist and he is doing awesome! His heart looks great and we were able to get him off of some of his medications. We still have a follow up appointment with the surgeon next week but I am sure everything will look great. He will check his scar and make sure everything is healing correctly. Dylan will have what's called a synergies shot once a month from the month's of November to March every year until he is 3 years old. It is not a vaccine it is just an immunity shot to help boost his little system in the case he gets in contact with anyone that is sick or has the RSV cold. We DO-NOT want him back in the hospital!

This surgery was not an easy thing for Greg and I to go through nor Dylan. As parents you never want to see your children suffer or hurt in anyway. Like I said I always wanted to just take his pain away for him. The best part is we got through it! With all the the prayers and support from family and friends we made it. God got us through it! It is so crazy to think that he had open heart surgery almost a month ago and he is back to his normal self, like nothing happened! We are so proud of Dylan and his strength we cannot wait to watch him grow in the near future and we are so lucky to be this little man's mommy and daddy. We love you Dylan!
