Um! Just got a note from a friend who’s son had heart surgery two days ago. He’s done really well, but last night the pain stuff didn’t seem to be doing anything for him and now he’s popped a fever. :(

A doctor once told me that if you got a fever post-op it was almost ALWAYS on day three, because the body has dealt with the shock of surgery and is beginning to fight back. I’m hopeful that he’s just got the 3rd day fever.

They’ll still do all the bloodwork… I would too, just to be sure, but all those pokes aren’t gonna be much for a 4 year old (or his parents).
