Still steady

Not much has changed overnight. Which is good. Caelen's chest tubes are still draining a lot. I wish the effusions would stop.

I did get to hold him this morning and we are going to have him try for more steps this afternoon. He's talking a little more as the narcotics are weaning down. It's nice to hear his little voice but he is more agitated. So the nurse is trying to control the agitation with Tylenol round the clock and sedatives when needed. We really need to get him off the drugs safely.

His lungs are still wet, but slowly healing. As we get him up more, they should start to heal a little faster.

Other than that its just slow and steady. Thank you again for your prayers. We ask for continued healing of his heart and lungs and for the effusions to stop.

Love,
Katye
