Day Seven: Kate and I went over to Hip Baby to get Lewis a going home outfit. Not pictured: his stylin puffa. It is going to take a while to get used to wearing clothes again.
Day One: He spent most of day one asleep, only stirring to fight the constraints on his arms and the tube in his mouth.
Day Ten ICU: Lewis does not usually like to be bundled up tight but his energy was so low he didn't seem to mind.
Day Five: They have been aware that I have been documenting the whole surgery and where told that I wanted to be there for when the chest tubes were removed. So when the doctors arrived we heard one of them say "has Lewis' film crew arrived?". Indeed!
Day Six: I continue to be amazed at the amount of data which can be extracted from the human body via wires.
Day Seven: We loaded Lewis into his stroller and headed out the main entrance and over to the Ambulatory Care Building to visit the pharmacy to get his meds.
