Exubated

Owen was exubated (taken off the ventilator) at around noon. It was rough times for a few hours afterwards. He was just keeping us on our toes. We got all the gunk sucked out of his chest and then I snuggled him and he did TONS better. We also had his chest tubes removed and his catheder was taken out. I'm sure it feels good to be de-tubed. Now we'll work on weaning off the heart meds and our biggest concern now is the heart function. With time, we hope that it starts to improve. Oh... and he is starting to look like OWEN again. The puffyness has gone down and he can actually open up his eyes now. Before, his eyelids were so puffy that he would try to open his eyes and couldn't... so frustrating.

We continue to take things one day at a time. I'll have some pictures to post tomorrow.

Keep the prayers coming.
