Stitches are out!

The last remnants of Jacob's surgery are now gone - they took out his stitches yesterday.  They also did a chest x-ray, during which he only cried a little (he usually cries a lot), and he didn't cry at all when removing the stitches.  He is so strong, I'm still amazed by his strength.  Its truly inspiring. 

His x-ray looks good.  His blood pressure is normal (speaking of that, I need to give him his medicine), his incision looks great and is healing nicely.  Everything just looks great.  I am following up with his pediatrician today, and then we follow up with his cardiologist on the 19th.

Here are before and after stitch removal pictures.  That orange stuff in the after picture is some betadine (just to clean it)
