Joey has been in the PSHU (pediatric surgical heart unit) for awhile and many of the nurses have grown attached to him. They felt bad for all that he has gone through and that he will be spending Christmas in the hospital. Yesterday, the nursing staff surprised us and brought a little Christmas cheer to our family by decorating Joey's room. His drab hospital room was transformed into a cozy place. This was a small thoughtful gesture that makes spending the holidays in the hospital not so bad. Joey has a snowman blankey, lights above his bed, a fireplace, Christmas music playing, paper and bows decorating the walls, a stocking, and mini tree. We feel blessed to have such a caring team taking care of our baby. I even heard that the surgeon pitched in and was cutting wrapping paper for his room with a scapula.
Joey had a good weekend. The plan for him is recovery and rest. Last week his body went through a lot of stress and shock. He is going to need lots of time to recover. He is a really sick baby and only time will make him better. We are praying for no infections and that he continues to grow stronger everyday.
