This week has flown by

It will be a week tomorrow since my big open heart surgery and I'm just flying by my recovery. Mommy cant even keep up! The majority of my previous nurses are shocked as well. They closed up my chest the following day from my big surgery. Then they mostly let me rest for a few days trying to prevent my heart from being overworked. I think I got too use to it that I now growl at the nurses when they try to take vitals or do labs. Yes you read right I growl. I learned that screaming at them doesn't work and this way I don't waste my breath. You'd think they would feel intimidated from my direct eye contact, but all they say is how cute I look. It's a bit frustrating, but I am closer to going home.

They have moved me to a less intensive area where others aren't in such critical condition. Today OT came to work on my bottle feeding and I showed her how big of a champ I am. I drank a little more than double than I have ever drank before. Its just a little over an ounce, but I will get there. Mom tries to remind me to take it easy because my heart has to work twice as hard to do what other typical babies have to.

We do have one bad news... I have a blood clot in my leg. Hopefully with medication it will dissolve so I do not have any future problems.
