My son, Brett...Stopping by from Pudge and Biggs. <br /><br />My son, Brett, had open heart surgery this past December. He was in the PICU for 3 days and on the floor for 1. He spent his time in leg warmers and a diaper until the day we went home.<br /><br />I can remember wanting to get as much information as possible before surgery and Courtney has a lot of great information to share. The Hananvan Home will be praying for you guys as the big day approaches.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15944558512128205522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319000400050843557.post-68020453106990081672011-04-27T17:38:33.386-07:002011-04-27T17:38:33.386-07:00Found your blog off of Pudge and Biggs, and though...Found your blog off of Pudge and Biggs, and thought I'd leave a note! We too have been through OHS. <br /><br />I love the idea of bringing baby leggings with! I think the kiddos always look a bit better with some clothing from home on, no matter how many tubes may be hooked up.... I mostly did pj's with snaps to easily slide the tubes through. <br /><br />My child was only 4 months old at the time of surgery, so I filled up a sock with some rice for his neck/head so it wouldn't slump. Don't know if you'd have this problem with an older child, but it worked great for us.... <br /><br />I'll be joining you in prayer for a smooth surgery and recovery!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319000400050843557.post-67024235253028620552011-04-26T09:47:43.340-07:002011-04-26T09:47:43.340-07:00PS on the clothes - for the first 4 or 5 days Bail...PS on the clothes - for the first 4 or 5 days Bailey didn't wear anything but a diaper with blankets over her. There were so many wires/tubes that it would have been impossible to put clothes on her. When it got down to just the leads on her chest, we put her in pjs and buttoned or zipped around them. We also found a cute little pink bathrobe at Target that was easy to get her in and out of while she was still hooked up to the monitors. :)CMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00752104706937675376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319000400050843557.post-22910042070043840672011-04-26T09:46:03.079-07:002011-04-26T09:46:03.079-07:00Hi - I know Annie and saw your blog link from hers...Hi - I know Annie and saw your blog link from hers.
