Yesterday and last night were uneventful, which is always a good thing in the cardiac ICU. We kept Wes company, venturing out for lunch and then home for dinner and sleep. He stayed just as he should and is still sedated and paralyzed (intentionally), with a breathing tube. He’s on a cooling blanket because his temperature creeps up when they take him off. It’s not a fever or a concern, the doctors are just very particular in what they like to see (as they should be!). He is also still being paced for now while his heart is getting used to its new configuration and is healing from surgery. Green Sheep and Penguin are snuggling with him.
Dr. Emani stopped by at the end of the day yesterday. It sounds like everything Wes is doing is fine.
We’ll stay the course and Wes will do his thing. It’s actually kind of peaceful having him “asleep” for now. It’s the quietest we’ll ever see this kid since he’s normally a firecracker. And to think that his energy levels are supposed to increase after surgery…
Meanwhile, this 3 foot tall party is on his way. Look out, Boston.
Adventures in Wes 
Whew! Thanks for the update. I hope Wes’s little yellow bag is on it’s way with Henry. I left it in your parents door last evening as they were out.
The peace is good for you now as I am sure there will be new challenges when Wes comes to out of his current state – you will need your energy then.

What a relief to hear that he is doing so well!!!! Sounds like you better be resting up and regaining your strength for the new super Wes. Softly stroke his arm for me. Thoughts and prayers always coming your way.
