Easter Morning

We slept in this morning, we were able to get a sleep room last night and tonight, so we kind of have a home away from home. They said minimal amenities and they mean it, we walked into a room with a fold-out couch and a bathroom, the shower just goes straight onto the floor of the bathroom. I'm not complaining though, its nice to have a little room here, it was where I went to escape while I was having a hard time yesterday.
We got to his bed this morning and it wasn't as scary as yesterday, he is missing about 6 tubes. They took out 3 drainage tubes, where the blood and liquid from surgery were draining. They also took out his pacing wires, which were on his heart just in case he had some rhythm issues. They also took out his umbilical line, which he has had in for 5 days now.  It looks like he is doing much better today, his sedation is starting to wear off so his little feet will twitch every once in a while. The nurse is about to remove him from the ventilator and he will be breathing on his own again. He is doing awesome, all his numbers look great and he has plenty of pee now. Yesterday was very hard, but today is exciting again. This really is like a roller coaster ride, so many emotional ups and downs.
