Fix-a -heart week

SO far so great. What an amazing little guy Henry is. Wow, truth be told I did not think he would get to have surgery Monday. Mid week mmy husband came down with a cold.. then another child then another... well I was just sure Monday am we would wake up and Henry would be then next to drop but praise be to God once again he just smiled as usual.
He was first up for surgery on Mon which wsa great I think both Maggie and Peter ended up having to wait hours beyond hteir scheduled time and oh the screaming and crying form hunger. Maggie was the worst she likes her food more then the boys do.
Henry was given some Versaid.. a litle pre happy juice. In ten minutes it did the job. They took him to surgery where his little body performed beautifully. They kept him sedated until Tues then slowly weined him from the sleepy juice. Took him off the vent and at that point my almost always happy little fellow turned not on us. He flailed and cried best he could, he actully flipped over at one point.. He was regretful immediatly. That little move cost him his freedom at that point we put the cuffs on him. He did not really calm down but because he was doing so well they took his Art line out, those scanners that were on his head and kidneys area. Then he was even allowed to tinkle like the bigger boys you know in his diaper instead of through a tube.. At this point it was like well THANK YOU PEOPLE.. basically his eyes rolled back in his head and he was out. He knew that was an out hole not an in hole..... See he is sooo smart.
Through last eve and the night he has had five ounces of formula. So progressing. He really is just plain out of it. I did get him to crack a smile last eve and he talked to me just a bit. He is a trooper.. he stick that lip out when he is displeased but overall he is just so pleasent.
Thanks so much for all your prayers... when you spend much time here you daily become more and more greatful for the little things.. You become very aware that although you only got half your Christmas cards done before surgery it's ok. If you did not get the teachers gifts done to send with the kids.. that's ok. Yes everyone is still appreciated and thought of. Just the tangible items will be well perhaps given out at Valentines day... Yeah that's it..
Ok anyway..when you see the what if's and the could have's and the if we had only's come to be here. Well your thoughts change..Hopefully for a long time.. but sadly for some just for a bit. For that time anyway.. you appreciate time more.. you appreciate people..you are closer to God. It is good to come here.
Merry Christmas
