So far today has been a good day. He was finally taken off the ventilator. He is on about a quarter of a liter of oxygen but they plan to ween that sometime tonight. His oxygen saturations are currently at 100%. AJ was taken off the Lasix drip and now receives it every 6 hours. His catheter was removed and he is soaking up the diapers. He finally opened up his eyes when he heard me talking. However, they are still very swollen and puffy so it was more of him squinting. But he did get super excited and starting kicking his legs up like he always does. He tried to reach his arms out but he still has one IV line on his left hand. His incision looks very good. It's a little swollen but nothing major.  
They plan to feed him sometime tonight. He will start on 12ml an hour for 12 hours then increase as he tolerates. His skin color is just amazing! He still turns a little blue when he gets upset but not nearly as dark blue as it was before. They are hoping to ween him off some of the medications tonight or tomorrow. The plan for tomorrow is to take out 2 of the 4 drainage tubes. Dr. Bove came by to see him and was quite pleased with how he is recovering. He thinks that we will be out of the hospital sooner than we expect. I was very happy when I heard that. This has definitely, by far, been his best recovery yet!
