So, technically it is day 5 but we'll finish out yesterday:
Russell gained about 2 more ounces as of last night (May 25)! He is at 7 lbs 13 oz. We will probably be sent home today. Matt and I won't leave without getting oxygen for Russell. Oxygen levels remain high and we want to keep it that way.
I had a minor moment of fear and tears for Russell's heart surgery last night. It sounds so scary. Yes, I know it is best for him and he needs it but the scared Mom in me came out for a few minutes. I think I'm allowed to be scared - my baby is having heart surgery. I'm not sure how I'll sleep the night before. I guess I shouldn't worry about that and cross that bridge when I get to it. For now, I'm just enjoying holding and looking at him.
Russell was awake for about 30 minutes at 5:30 this morning so, of course, I couldn't sleep until he did. I wanted to see those eyes. Then he was still hungry, so he ate a total of 78 ml instead of the usual 58!
Now, we are just waiting for the doctors.
