Austin took his breathing tube out this morning at 4 AM so they left it out and are just giving him oxygen through his nose. They've removed a lot more from him today and so far he is adjusting well. He isn't whimpering as much now with the cathater removed. His breathing is a little shallow because of the chest pain.
He still has the restraints on since there are monitors attached to him for blood pressure and oxygen readings. 
He had some water, juice, and half of a popcycle around noon.
This morning during rounds the doctors said a possible Thursday discharge date.
Oh, he's looking much better with the breathing tube out! Hang in there, buddy. Hope he gets to come home on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteAustin you are doing so much better. Christina thinks you are pretty lucky to have a popcycle. Praying you are get to go home on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteTake Care.
