Luke is playing Monopoly this morning and has a slight fever. They are waiting on the docs to make rounds.
Luke is out of the PICU and in a regular room but still a bit disoriented. I’ll update as I know more.
Luke has been extubated and when asked "Do you know where you are?" he answered "In a hotel?"
They might send him to the Peds floor today. Whew. All glory to God.
Luke is doing much much better. He is waking up and responding. The X-Ray yesterday showed his lungs full of water and the X-Ray today showed clear lungs. Tony called to tell me that Luke is now on the C-Pap version of the ventilator. He is breathing on his own with a little help from the vent. They will leave him like this for several hours and then extubate if he is doing well. He is responsive and follows simple directions like "Blink your eyes." and "Lay still." The nurses and everyone involved are very optimistic. Praise God!!
