out of ICU

We have room out on the floor now (331). Athan was a bit fussy this afternoon, but after a couple of big burps and a dose of Tylenol, he was better. His lungs sound more and more clear to anyone who has listened to him. Ryan has been in Wilmore asleep (finally!), and he'll be back to see us soon.

Dr. Plunkett came to see us just before we left the ICU and described to us in more detail the repair that he did and exactly where the leaks are in the valve. He said again that it may correct itself, it may not. He said to just file away the possibility of another surgery in the future, but not to worry about it at all right now. The leakage is very minimal, and the medication will help.

He also said we may be home by Monday or Tuesday. :-)
