Post-Glenn, Day 3
posted by Mom on July 22, 2006
Today was nice and uneventful. (Knock on wood.) His blood pressure is doing well on its own, his headaches have diminished greatly, and tomorrow they're going to wean him off the pacemaker to see how his heart does on his own. Otherwise, there were naps, visits with family & friends, bottles, some Princess Bride, some teething - and even a few smiles. :-)
Here's to an equally as uneventful night!

If you've recently received an HLHS diagnosis
PLEASE contact us if you want to talk. Having others who have been through this there for us (even when we just needed to freak out!) has been so, so instrumental in coming to terms with what's we're up against.
If you're here because you wanted to show love and support
Thank you! We've been amazed at the influx of wishes and prayers and positive energy sent our way, and we can't begin to express how much that strength and support means to us. Please take a moment and sign the guestbook.
If you're looking for info on HLHS
Please check out the resources. We were overwhelmed with what's availabe on the Internet; hopefully this will narrow it down a little for you. Be sure to read up on all the babies who are doing well - there IS hope!
