On Our Way Back Up!

Things are looking up again.  Callan's infection is being treated with antibiotics and his lab numbers are looking good :) As a result of the infection Callan ended up back on oxygen and a feeding tube.  We also discovered that the poor guy was suffering from horrible reflux, which I am told is common in "cardiac kids".  Thankfully due to my 6 month struggle with Rylie's reflux, I noticed the signs right away.  Who says you don't learn from the past ;)  So, today when I walked in to see my little man I was pleased to see that he was off the oxygen and that they are talking about removing the feeding tube this afternoon or evening if his feedings go well today.  If we stay the course, we should be going home in the next 2-3 days.  It is my personal goal to ensure that Callan does not spend is 1 month birthday in a crib at the hospital!  So we have until next Wednesday to bust out of this joint for my goal to be met.  As he gets better and the idea of going home rolls around in my head, I must say that I wonder how I will acclimate back into real life.  I feel like I have been living in a bubble, completely unaware that the world around me continues to go on :)  Thankfully it is summer, so I won't have a million episodes of my favorite shows on DVR to catch up on :)
