Moving up

We are now on the 8th floor at Children's Medical Center. James was moved into a new room while recovering from his surgery. He did not need to stay in the cardiac intensive care unit any longer. He is doing really well and we were all surprised when they said we were moving up. His breathing tube was removed last night, he still has two drainage tubes from his chest. He is receiving oxygen to keep his levels high until he is more awake. He is still on some pain medicine and is staying asleep most of the time. He is a real fighter and we are ready to have him at home soon. Thank you Dr. Forbess and the amazing cardiac team at Children's.
