We spent some time with our son. Everything is looking good and as expected at this point. We have a couch in a sleep room one floor above the CVICU where we will try to get some sleep tonight. The nurse encouraged us to really use tonight to get some rest, because this is the night he truly won’t know that we are not with him. It was hard for this mama to leave his side, but I know I have to take care of me in order to take care of him….and I won’t want to leave his side for sure once he’s more aware.  I am sure I will be walking down to visit him at least once in the middle of the night. 

What. A. Day. Kiran is strong. His saturations were at 98 and 99 the whole time we were at his bedside. It is all just so unreal. So much of all the feelings today.
