And that folks, is how it's done

So, here we are, 5 days post-op...HOME!!! (For the record, 5 days post-op is fairly standard at CHLA for a completely standard Glenn with no complications whatsoever - but for Bodie to do it in 5 days is nothing short of a miracle!!!) PRAISE GOD! What a huge relief to be home.

So now what? Now we keep Bodie in quarantine, under Doctor's orders, for at least 2 weeks. So those of you who live locally won't be seeing too much of us. No trips to church, to the grocery store, anywhere there might be other people who could compromise the immunity of a sweet little 7 month old boy recovering from open heart surgery! So, we'll miss you all - but we're looking forward to some relaxing time at home! :-)

And a few pics we took at the hospital yesterday and today:

  10. I can't tell you how cute he is!!!! Good thing I live so far away, I would be tempted to violate his isolation to give him hugs and kisses. ;) We're so thankful for a smooth surgery for him. Still praying for Townes, he is so precious too! Love, Erin
