Like It Never Happened!

Christian is doing wonderful! Only three days after surgery, his is almost back to his normal self; smiles and all! We took a trip with Gramma Whee to the 3rd floor cafe this afternoon and it was so much fun to have him with us! We were supposed to be heading home today, but due to some very minor fluid retention, he has to stay at least one more night. They did a chest x-ray, an echo and a blood test to see if anything was wrong, but all came back negative! We think that it was just a way for the nurses to keep him here. They have all fallen in love with Christian. Please leave a comment to say you stopped in! We'll update again either tonight or tomorrow.
