Wooooo-Hooooooo!!
5 days post surgery and he is finally stable enough to extubate.
Oh.
My.
Gracious.
I feel like I could do cartwheels down the hallway.
Actually.
Hold on.
I think I will.
Standby......
Ok,
I'm back.
I did half a cartwheel
realized I'm not 10 years old anymore
and me and my graying hair decided not to attempt another.
I'm.
So.
Lame.
Anyhoo,
I am super excited.
He is going to be so much happier.
Beginning yesterday his little countenance just kinda went down.
You can see it in his eyes as tears pour silently down.
He is giving up.
He has resigned himself to the fact that this is his new life.
Forever lying here with a tube down his throat
gagging
choking
breathing through that straw.
Heartbreaking.
I'll share some pictures later today after it's out.
I don't want to post any of him in his current state as I'm not sure he'd appreciate that 10 years from now.
But alas, there will be a cute little mostly tube free face coming to a blog near you soon.
It's.
A.
Good.
Day.

ReplyDeleteAmazing my friend! We are so proud to call you two friends. You are amazing and I imagine that God is beaming from ear to ear, wanting to whisper, "Well done, thy good and faithful servant!" to both of you.

I am not up on cardiac surgery...so I don't know if 5 days is very good or just so-so. But either way it sounds like very good news..and you are so right it is hard to see them just become resigned.
