Extubated!

Magnus has been off the vent for about an hour now and seems to be doing fine! They reduced his sedation for the extubation, so he's been pretty fussy, and he's very hoarse from being on the vent for 2 days. Next step is chest tubes, so hopefully he'll be a little happier after that.

    Wow, that's great news!
    I remember it took Josh longer than I expected for him to smile again...it really worried me, but other moms I talked to said the same. So don't let that get you down, even though it's tough seeing them unhappy. It seems like it's the norm for them to go several days with out any signs of their old self. But believe me, it won't be long before he's amazing you with his new found energy (and weight gain etc. etc.:)!

    Chest tubes are really, really hard. It should be a lot easier for him when they're out. Go Magnus!
