Cardio Follow Up

Magnus had his first post-op appointment with his St. Louis cardiologist on Thursday. She was in disbelief at how good he looked and that he was nine days post-op from such a major surgery. Add another to the list of people who are in awe of our warrior!

Everything looked so great except the top of his incision which he has been picking at in his sleep. It was on the verge of an infection but a physician assistant from cardiothoracic surgery thinks it's ok. We will send a picture to her on Monday to see how it's doing. She was also able to take out Mags's chest tube stitches which was painless. That was a relief because he was totally traumatized in the office. He is very vulnerable when his shirt is off, even with me at home. It breaks my heart but I will do everything in my power to build him back up and diminish his fear. Time will heal and so will his chest. If you ever do get a glimpse of it, please tell him how cool it is or how he is Superman. We can all build him back up!

I don't plan on posting very often since we are back in the swing of chaos...and loving it! Please continue to keep Magnus on your prayer list. Though he is in the best possible health right now, that can easily change. We are forever grateful for each and every one of you. Your loving support of our family is priceless!

So glad we made it back in time for these two beauties' preschool graduation!
