Small steps:)

Baby boy has both chest tubes out... The tubes drain excess fluid off his heart and lungs, Dr. Nigro his surgeon stemmed happy with his progress so went ahead and discontinued them:) next step is weening off the ventilator do he can breath on his own, this will start tonight and hopefully he will be extubated tomorrow! There's always a chance that the chest tubes and the ventilator will have to be put back inn, it really all depends on Brody! Our Surgeon did say he was a character ... And that he's never seen a baby suck so hard on his pacifier right after surgery!!! So that is good! We have had a nothing but wonderful nurses taking care if our Brody boy, we are so very thankful for everything they do for him! God is good!!! We love everything and everyone that has contributed to our boys care! Hopefully tomorrow will bring more good news! Check out the flowers Charli picked for her brother!We have the sweetest girl;)
