Recovering

Isaac is doing well and already wanting to move around and wake up. They are working on weaning the vent and getting all the extra fluid out of him. He is looking so good with saturations at 100. He almost looks like a different baby. The surgeon is hoping to get some of the tubing out tomorrow. Let's pray that it happens. No rush though....he's gotten over a big hurdle and needs to get stronger to get over any more that are ahead. We took many pictures of him the day of his surgery before he went in. We've taken quite a bit after his surgery but the only one we are willing to share is a pictue of his foot. I don't know if anyone but us can tell the difference, but he is PINK.

Its difficult to think about, but we keep thinking of the donor family and their enormous generosity. We haven't gotten to find out any information that they CAN give us about the donor (race, and gender). I wish there was some way we could help as much as they've helped us. If I could give them everything we had, we definitely would. There are no words that could express how we feel right now. Its sort of a bittersweet moment....
