I can't wait until all I have to worry about is:
- nursing at night instead of waking up to pump (its not fun when I sleep through my alarm for pumping)
- blow out diapers because he isn't on an IV
- sleepless nights because I will spend all my time holding and kissing him
- throwing up milk because he drank too much because he can finally nurse to his hearts content
- picking out cute outfits for him to wear because all he gets now to wear are wires, tubes, and a blanket
- having him potty as I bathe him instead of having to use a washcloth to clean blood and gross stuff off of him
Worrying about oxygen levels, heart rate, size of heart, breathing rate, and such is a lot to worry about. I will be grateful when life is simple and my worries are normal.

...this is Rachel Cowley, not Jeff.
This is so sad. Especially that he couldn't eat for six hours. I know how I get when I have to fast. Irritable! And he doesn't even understand why he's so hungry.
BUT You really made a great point about being so blessed to have found the heart issue now because of the bubble on the lung. That is a serious miracle. So happy for you guys and I'm sure it will be normal in no time.
