Sunday

We are pretty excited that, as of now, it is looking like Brody will be off the breathing tube without the traech! This is just an estimate, but it seems they might be able to pull the tube out Tuesday. He has been slowly weaned down from the narcotics and is now being sedated and pain controlled by five drugs. The wean from those will take longer, and we were told to plan another couple of weeks here. Once the breathing tube is out he will be moved to a step down unit down the hall. Still in the ICU but this is where he will withdraw from the drugs. My 2 year old is going to detox! Then, depending on how everything is at that time he could possibly be moved to one of the other floors. We aren't sure what this all means for going home, but we know he will be on oxygen again for sure.
