Good morning! Life in the Martin/Manary house is very good. Jax got to come home yesterday afternoon and is very happy to be here. The girls and cooper are coming home as I type this so life will be back to normal very soon. It just still amazes me how strong jaxon has been through all of this. The night of the surgery was the most painful time for him. The dr.s say that this surgery causes very bad headaches and that is why he was so uncomfortable. Once we got his pain under control early saturday morning he got some good sleep and woke up smiling and ready to eat. We were out of icu on saturday just 24 hrs after heart surgery. It was smooth sailing from there until Tuesday afternoon when we all just started to get a little stir crazy. As far as the surgeon was concerned we could have came home on tuesday but the cardiology team wanted to run some tests and have us meet with some specialists to explore why prince jaxon has not grown as big as they want him to. So we spent most of the day tuesday waiting for the specialists to arrive and the tests to be done. The specialists didn't arrive until after 4 on tuesday and the tests weren't done until wednesday morning but they didn't make us stick around to get results before sending us home. His was finally discharged at 1:00 wednesday afternoon. So, here we are doing laundry, and getting the house put back in order just enjoying life. Well, the girls just arrived so I will be done for now. Thanks for all the prayers!
