Huunter successully had his breathing tube removed this morning aroung 11am... he is a bit croupy, but much happier that the tube is out.
He finally was given a drink around 2pm and he loved it!!!! he wanted more, more , but we had to wait.
Finally lasix was started lated today so he can drink a bit more, although he is clearly positive.. no food tonight maybe something tomorrow...
They could't find him a dvd player today, so it was a good thing that we had ours.. propped up on two face masks boxes...lol taped so it won't fall over... But he has been happy watching Deigo and Harry and his Bucket full of Dinos.. mind you it is in and out sleeping..
He has been really good, in obvous pain, but who would be....
Maybe tomorrow he will be moved to the floor.
All his blood gases are good, venous mix is great. and he drainage tubes are draining lots... one is leaking air too... we will have to see what that means in the morning.
Thanks to all my friends that have been praying and thinking of Hunter. you are great.. He really is doing great, although he is not one for pain.
His o2s range anywhere from higher 80's to low 90's.
He continues to do well, hating every moment when someone touches him... which is no surprise..
Oh yeah he also got his catheter out this morning... this made him happy.... and mom too..
Please continue to pray for him, send all the good vibes and well wishes his way.... he is only 24 hours post op.. he has a long way to go..
But wow.... E... we are on the other side!!! still don't fully appreciate it,, but the fontan is done!!!
pictures to follow, maybe tomorrow.... gotta figure this thing out.....
Thanks for everything you guys.....
and keep it going....

Sounds like he's doing great!!! I hope you're breathing a little easier now and can relax a little bit. I know you still have a bit to go, but the biggest piece is over. It'll take a while to sink in, too!
