Day 8: Out, out, out

You may have guessed, our goal for today is to get the tube, OUT,OUT, OUT. It sounds like the steroid magic is working ( thanks Leener!). His nurse overnight seemed to think we'd be extubated today.The inflamation has gone down. At 6, they cut back on his sedative, so he should be alert, again, this morning. We are looking forward to that.
I hope the blog is keeping everyone up to date. I do really miss talking to those of you that I usually talk to almost daily( Snook, Yoko, Smelly, Stup-id,Mother of the Temptress, etc). It is just hard to find time that I am not with Haydy. And, I just don't want to repeat my story, well, repeatedly. Plus, I am exhausted.EX-HAUS-TED.
Rob on the other hand has been talking to more people than he usually does. Go figure;-)

I want to thank everyone at Timber Grove for their generous gift(s). You guys have been so supportive over the years. We are lucky to have you in our lives. I know my Mom would agree:-)
Aunt Iris and Uncle Leon, thank you for the gift. It'll get put to good use :-)

Think good thoughts for today. Extubated boy, chatting and peeing in the urinal. (It is TOTALLY Rob's job to assist with that. Having not been born with that particular anatomy, I am not sure how to " aim" it. Something about aim high and let it fly... fly where is my question? Not on me...thanks, but no thanks).

I will try to post, again later today with an update.
Oh, and go UNC- Ali needs a new pair of shoes. ( I am down to 60!) ( If they win, we are in second place and $ comes our way).
Toodles-
