Mama Guilt


We have the catheter behind us! Woohoo!!! We feel like it was good news even though the balloon did not work. We are just thrilled that we do NOT have a surgery date!! Our families have all gone home and we are getting back to our regular life after all of the "excitement" of last week.
Since the procedure, Parker has been screaming for an hour or longer any time he has to go to sleep. We used to be able to just lay him down and walk out of the room and he would fall asleep within 10 minutes or so. Well, the last two days have been a bedtime nightmare around here. He totally skipped his nap yesterday because we were at Jon's grandfather's house and we decided to spare the house the drama. We figured when we came home he would crash. wrong. He was up until 9!!! Then he woke up at 2:30 and did not go back to sleep until 4!!!! And he is not just in there whinning the "I'm tired and I can't get comfortable" cry. It's a new "I'm shreeeeeakkkking and you don't know why! You can just let me lie here alone if you want to, but keep in mind that I have multiple heart defects, possible teeth coming in and oh yeah, you did just hand me over to a man who stuck a tube up my leg and into my HEART but not before you held me down while they took my blood..but sure you just let me scream in here by myself. I'm probably fine" howel that we can not ignore. Needless to say - we are exhausted this morning.
It's a good thing I've found coffee! Poor Jon.

ps - the photo is Parker about 5 minutes after his versed shot (nice and relaxed)
