Something Indescribable

I'm sitting here in our room next to Jonovan's crib just watching him sleep. I swear I could do this for hours!! Just listening to him breath is the most relaxing sound that god could have ever given me. He seems to be doing so much better now. Right now the things that the doctor's are watching are his lungs, his heart rate, his pulse oxygen level, and his eating habbits. From looking at his x-ray yesterday they found that he does still have some pulmonary hypertension. This is fluid going to his lungs. He was started on a medication for that and we are now waiting for a new x-ray to see if they're working. Every once in a while his heart rate will jump up really high but it does manage to get back down to normal. Also, his oxygen levels sometimes take a dip down low from time to time. At about 4 this morning his nurse came in the room and decided he needed to be put back on oxygen for a while. About 1 hour ago they took the mask away and he is doing well without it right now. As far as his eating goes, he still can't seem to hold anything down. Everytime we give him formula he vomits it all back up. We're now doing a mixture of 1/2 pedialyte 1/2 formula and he has kept 5 ounces of that down today. Aside from these complications he is being a total rockstar :) We look at him and just think how amazing it is that he had open heart surgery only 3 days ago! He's such a little champ! (that's what daddy calls him)
