Feeling great and R-O-A-R-I-N-G!!

WOW, God is great!! J.J. is doing wonderful this morning and feeling ready to head down to the playroom to play (at least for now.... :) ). Yesterday was a little hard on him and he was very sore and tired for most of the day. We were moved out of ICU yesterday evening and were able to get a decent night's rest.....you know, two good 5 hour shifts. The doctor said his lung x-ray from this morning looked perfect, and that for all practical purposes the inner wounds are closed. His chest drain is off suction, but will remain in for at least another 24 hours to continue to drain unassisted. Provided his progress with the tube continues it should come out tomorrow or Sunday, and then he will be monitored for another 24 hours before we can head home. As I was just typing the nurse came in to remove his last IV and take all breathing/heart monitors off - yippee, we are almost totally unhooked!! Since he's more mobile and will be awake more we'd love to see visitors who want to come up starting this afternoon. You can call/text me to make sure the timing is ok.

Thanks again for all the prayers, comments, care packages and support - we love you all!!
