THE COWBOY IS BACK!

It is amazing how fast the human body heals, we can't believe how good his chest looks!

I tease that people are going to ask what happened to his head and he will say, "I had open heart surgery." Dang that c-pap mark!
Look out, this cowboy is ready to fight again! Add Image He loves his BOB balloon!
He is just so much happier!
Hatcher's PJ's say, "Chicks dig scars"
Story time to help the day go by! One of our favorite people Lupe!
I can't even tell you how grateful I am for a place to sleep by my baby at night!


Hatcher had the best nights sleep last night since this whole crazy thing began! He only woke up a few times and was easy to comfort and get back to sleep. Every time he asked for a drink, he would say, "oh, thank you momma." My little man is coming back! This morning Randy and I gave him his first real bath in the tub in his room. He even brought in a toy to play with. They are telling us that we will be able to go to the apartment soon! He will have to stay local and do follow ups here at LPCH, but anything sounds better than another night in the hospital! I would come everyday if it meant we could get out of here! Sounds like he will have to go home with oxygen, NG tube and plenty of medications, bring it on, no biggy! His lungs and sodium levels still keep us on our toes. This morning he had his daily x-ray, echo, and blood work. We continue to feel so blessed as we watch his progress and want to thank everyone for all of the support, love and prayers! We are so happy to have our little cowbly back!

    Hallelujah!!!! Oh, it really is so good to see that smile! I still think of that comment Jaxson made (that you posted about quite a while back, it went something like: "so basically if you've had open heart surgery three times (and I'll add FOUR times now), you're practically a miracle". We are so grateful for your MIRACLE!!!
