Day 6; Same old Hayden

Hayden had a really good night. He did have a bit of a fever, but it has subsided and they started some antibiotics. It is par for the course with him being intubated for so long. Today they are moving towards extubation. They hope to do it by tomorrow morning. He lost a chest tub this morning, too. All good progress.
They are backing off on his sedation so he will be ready for extubation. He is stil mostly asleep, but does perk up every so often. He tried to talk over the breathing tube this morning; he might have been cursing at us ;-) At one point as he was dozing back off we said our bedtime schpeil to him. " Hayden have a good night sleep, Hayden grow, Hayden stay healthy, Mommy and Daddy love you very much and we'll see you in the morning". We usually pause before " morning" and he says it, so we did...and he mouthed it over the breathing tube and went back to sleep. Same old Hayden:-)
Let's hope we keeep up the slow steady progress:-)
