Lack of Sleep=No Clever Post Title :)

We're going to keep this short today with there being a direct correlation to the amount of sleep we got last night. Our day started a bit after midnight with Mags's oxygen saturation dropping to the 60s (not good!). It continued to drop periodically and then he spiked a 102 fever at 3:30am. The nurses tried to draw blood to see if he was starting an infection but couldn't get it after two pokes. As you can imagine, my buddy didn't handle it well. We were able to get a bit of sleep until he needed a chest xray at 6:30am. It went better this time than the first go-round, probably because a 300 pound male nurse was helping hold him still. :(

Trying to order breakfast

He wanted Mommy to match him

We were up and playing in the playroom by 7am and didn't come out for a couple hours. We laid back down and were awakened to Magnus's cardiologist standing over us. Talk about embarassing! In retrospect, I definitely should've freshened up for the day by that point! Magnus's fever had dropped and they felt comfortable discharging him without drawing any more blood. It took several hours to leave, especially because we waited to meet with his surgeon who was in the OR. Dr. Emani was fantastic and I'm thrilled his skilled hands will be the ones meticulously mending Magnus's heart. I love that he said we are the lucky ones to have Magnus. He got it right and totally understands adoption! We spoke at length and then swiftly left to return to our patient house.

Breakfast on the go

Flirting with his favorite nurse!

We slept, ate and played for the remainder of the day. We've seen and smiled at a nice Chinese couple with their small son for a couple of days. Finally, we spoke through Google translate during dinner. They are here for four months while their 2 year old son has heart surgery. Whoa! They are so kind and loving towards Magnus. They even offered their delicious smelling dinner to us. The boys played quite a bit with Mags being the playground bully. Oh nooo, that's not gonna fly! There were a whole lot of stern "no's" going around!

Ecstatic to have broken out of the big house!

I'm thrilled to think that we don't have an early morning for the next two days. I sure hope Magnus remembers to sleep in so we're both cheery when Daddy arrives! Tomorrow is going to be a good day!! :)
