Jacob's stay at St Mary's was cut short last week after the doctor found that his blood pressure was a good deal different from side to side. We are back at CHONY. The doctors' concern is that there may be something going on with one of the stents. Jake's next surgery is scheduled for July 20, 2011. This is the "big one." The first surgery back in February was minor compared to this one. This is the first time they have to arrest his heart and put him on a heart-lung machine. I am anxious to say the least. He is starting to sweat a lot just like before the last catheter procedure. That means his heart is working overtime and he is just lying there. It really is time for the next step.
As far as his stroke recovery is going - he looks good. His eyes cross less while he looks around. He looks left a lot more now. He still has much weakness in his left arm and leg. He sure cries like a normal 5 month-old. Deafening.
He is just too cute for words. I think that, like his sister, he is starting to teeth. He is still being fed via n-g tube though and won't be needing them any time soon.
FOOTNOTE:
NEVER DRINK A BEER WITH DINNER WHEN YOU HAVE A CHANCE OF BEING CAUGHT ON THE CROSS BRONX EXPRESSWAY.
