quick update:
We would have been able to leave before the holiday weekend but not eating for a week messed up the little guy's eating habits. So we were almost sent home with a feeding tube. Close enough that that they made me practice putting it in and checking placement. Not fun, but it is easier to do on a baby than an adult.
So, we've been back home for a week. (ya know, that place without internet access) As of today he's 10 lbs. that's just one ounce short of where he was when this whole mess started. The cardiologist said everything looks good and took him off of the lasix, but he's going to have to keep taking the captopril and digoxin for an undetermined amount of time. Maybe forever. That's OK with me, having to give him meds three times a day is do-able. His scar is just a red line down his chest (Dad says that for the rest of his life he'll always be "#1") and the bruising around it is almost gone.
Now if he'd only say amused by his mobile long enough for mom to get some work done. one handed typing is tedious.
cheese!

It's funny how fast you master one handed typing when you have a baby. That scar down his chest will fade so you won't even see it when he's older I bet. I have a friend who had spinal surgery when she was a young teenager, and that scar is even almost not noticeable now.
