Tomorrow is Christmas Eve...When I think about Christmas Eve, I think about Dylan's first Christmas Eve 3 years ago. Dylan had his 5th open heart surgery in November at 3 1/2 months old. They did this surgery earlier than they usually do it on children because there really were not many other options. Dylan had spent those 3 1/2 months being intubated and unsuccessfully extubated over and over again and nobody knew why. The last time he had to be reintubated was when they decided the surgery needed to be done. I remember it being really rough after the surgery..they had to leave Dylan's chest open for about a week I think. They really did not know how he was going to do and sounded very pessimisstic at first. A month later, on Christmas Eve, our little boy was extubated SUCCESSFULLY for the 1st time!!! It was amazing.. My Christmas miracle...He came home for the first time a month later...Today he is a happy 3 year old little boy doing normal 3 year old things (driving his mom nuts! lol). We have been so blessed...
