Today has been a good day. At about 12:00 pm, the surgeon came to remove Kaden's right side chest tube. He said the only thing that hurt was when they took the tape off the dressing. Good thing he doesn't have chest hair yet! He said the tube felt weird coming out. It was in there about 8 inches. Weirdest thing I've seen! Scott couldn't watch, he went out by the nurses station so they wouldn't have to pick him up off the floor. We are hoping that they can remove the left side tube tomorrow. He is getting his feeding tube out tomorrow also, but he has had french toast and macaroni and cheese today and has held it down. Poor kid has been starving! He is in pretty good spirits tonight because they got him up and sitting in a chair today. He said it felt really good. He scared me and the nurses though because when he decided to get back into bed he tried to do it by himself and stood himself up and then called for help. We went in there and he was already standing up and his nurse about went nuts! He just wants to get out of ICU and then they will move us to a private room with a little more privacy for a few days. The doctor told us it looks like Thursday or so before he will let him go. Kaden is trying really hard to do everything they want him to do so he can come home. Scott left today so he can take care of Jessica and Lacee for a few days. I have been reading magazines and doing word search puzzles...I'm starting to be an expert word searcher :)
He is watching the Yankees and Angels game tonight and the nurse let him have his phone, so I have seen him texting...he must be feeling a little better!
Anyway, thats all for tonight..Thanks for checking!
