Best day ever!

Gabriel had a great night, he was taken off some of his drugs and one of his IV's was removed. He would have been moved to the step down unit but they were full. Instead they moved his bed to #4 which was across the hall. We started feeding him from the bottle, and he is doing great, he wants more and more, hopefully he will not have to have the tube put back down for his feedings.

He is still bleeding from his chest tubes which is what is holding him back at this point. It is partially due to the blockage he had in his right tube. he is still pretty drugged up, but they are hoping they can take him off IV drugs tomorrow.

We got to hold him today and here are some pics!
