We're home!

It's finally over. We got home around 2:00 and we are so happy all of that is behind us. Owen will be on antibiotics and Motrin for a little while but that should be it as far as medication goes. He's moving a little slower than normal right now but that's to be expected after the type of surgery he just went through. He also has a pretty restricted level of activity for the next 4 weeks. No climbing, wrestling around, no pools or anything that would soak his incision, no playing on things that he might easily tumble off of and no playgrounds. Basically everything an 18 month old loves ... EXCEPT Elmo! Little did we know how much his Elmo obsession would help us out during all of this (I'm pretty sure we watched "The Best of Elmo" DVD about 30 times while we were at the hospital. Seriously. I could probably recite it for you.). That's usually a bad thing but when you've got a little guy attached to wires and IVs, it's nice to keep him in one place for as long as possible. With the worst of it behind us, we're looking forward to Owen's pacemaker being our new normal. Right now it's hard for us not to think about his incision or the pacemaker inside of him when we look at him. I'm sure that will change pretty quickly.
