Go Baby G! I hope the ENT consult happens soon and with good news. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow/page/2#post-2827423 Sat, 09 Jun 2018 16:21:55 +0000 MamaBear87 2827423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: that sounds like excellent progress! Hope the ent visit goes smoothly. Poor G with no food </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow/page/2#post-2827422 Sat, 09 Jun 2018 15:16:38 +0000 Ms. RV 2827422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They told us to expect 5-7 days in intensive care and we just got moved to the step down floor after three days! G is such a champ.</p> <p>Currently not allowed to eat though while waiting an ENT consult. They think the thing that closes off the windpipe from the esophagus might be damaged allowing some fluid to get in his lungs. It is a common (~40%) complication of his surgery so nothing that worrisome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow/page/2#post-2827116 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 15:01:24 +0000 luckygirl 2827116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is wonderful to hear that the surgery went well! When you get a chance, please keep us posted as to how Baby G's recovery is going. Hope you can all get some rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow/page/2#post-2827025 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 09:36:14 +0000 nwm 2827025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so glad to hear it &amp; hope you are able to get some rest!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow/page/2#post-2827004 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 08:39:03 +0000 snowjewelz 2827004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So glad to hear surgery went well but I'm sorry you had extra stress with the other parents!

Try and get a bit of rest, it will help!

Hopefully, he'll come off the vent soon enough and they can start taking wires out. Post-op it's more waiting and ups and downs. Try to take breaks when you can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow/page/2#post-2826971 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 04:38:09 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2826971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: so glad to hear this!

So glad for you that it’s over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow#post-2826912 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 16:52:51 +0000 ElbieKay 2826912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boss's 3yo had open heart surgery almost two weeks ago. My boss came back to work on Monday, so I asked how his son was doing. He said he's fine and you would never even know he'd had surgery. He seemed shocked by how quickly he bounced back.</p> <p>My thoughts are with your baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow#post-2826902 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 16:15:13 +0000 MamaBear87 2826902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: so glad it went well! The lead up is always the worst part. Glad you get to be home. Hope you get some sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow#post-2826896 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 15:58:14 +0000 Ms. RV 2826896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all of the well wishes. It honestly helped. I ended up not sleeping at all (didn't even try). The surgery went soooo well. He has a million wires and tubes and is on a vent but is doing great coming off the anesthesia/sedation. We were encouraged to come home tonight, which we did. </p> <p>And how I can tell I am exhausted? I legit yelled at Daniel Tiger for standing on the bed on TV.</p> <p>Oh and his CICU room is private but I think we might be just coming during the day. He has a private nurse to fuss over him at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow#post-2826840 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 13:38:26 +0000 MrsScallop 2826840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking of you! My son had an aortic arch advancement when he was 1 month and while it was scary, I knew he would be better after the surgery, so that helped me feel some peace about it. I hope everything is going smoothly! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow#post-2826781 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 12:10:13 +0000 pachamama 2826781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jeez like you needed that extra stress. Thinking of you. I know the worry is probably unbearable. Don't fight it but breathing and repeating positive (realistic) mantras always help me ("he is the best care I could provide him; we will get through this"). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow#post-2826761 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 11:56:53 +0000 macintosh 2826761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking of you today :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow#post-2826754 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 11:50:01 +0000 SweetiePie 2826754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking of you :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow#post-2826746 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 11:38:10 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2826746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck, will be thinking of you guys!

I told her my concerns. She said to make sure I have my valuables put away and that she will talk to them about both. Nurse hinted their baby is in here because mom is a user :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow#post-2826616 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 21:18:22 +0000 MamaBear87 2826616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: I'd make a nurse aware. That's not OK. You need as much peace as possible right now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow#post-2826614 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 21:12:45 +0000 Ms. RV 2826614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay. Major panic mode. G's roomie's parents showed up and not only are they eating in the room (not allowed) they have major head colds. I am terrified G is going to pick up some bug from them before his surgery. Luckily he will be moved to a private room post op. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-heart-surgery-tomorrow#post-2826613 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 21:08:05 +0000 travellingbee 2826613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So many hugs!
