And then it happened...

EXTUBATED! Alexander was extubated yesterday morning! 

Wes and I walked to Alexander's room expecting to get ready for 8 o'clock rounds and instead, we walked into a room with a very awake boy. His night had gone very well and the weaning of the ventilator had been under way-with good results. An hour after we got there, he was extubated! The rest of the day consisted of removing 2 of the 4 iv's, stopping some of his sedatives and heart meds. He slept most of the day, including when I got to cuddle with him.<3

Today, the plan is to get Alexander up and some what out of bed. He still has 3 chest tubes in and hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday, he could have them removed. Today is the first day we get to see t what Alexander's new heart has to offer.

Thank you for following along with our Superman's journey. It should be a very different journey now.
