Progress!

I slept in, finally.

Tyler has made great progress since yesterday. His lungs are clearing up, and he passed 💩💩💩overnight. Hooray!

By the time I arrived, he was lucid and sitting in the cardiac chair. He managed to get a little sleep last night, and they even removed his catheter. All great signs pointing toward the goal (GTFO of ICU). 

Tyler felt good enough to have some physical therapy, and catch up with the nurses on all of the tea. I’m pretty sure he made a “Hot Goss” dad joke today, but I draw the line at repeating it. 

Up next? Getting rid of that NG tube, which may happen as early as this weekend. 

We’re almost through the prologue of this new adventure series (I know, only the prologue??), but we thank you all for sticking with us, feeding us, dressing us (shoutout Aunt Lavern!) walking the dog, hanging out with the kids, and just being willing to offer a kind, undemanding ear.
