Extubated

210pm extubated (no more breathing tube). Reyes and Healey said the ultrasounds looks great.

noon: Hi all, thanks for your paitience, internet issues at the hospital this morning! Mario is doing very well. He had a good night with solid numbers and he was awake shortly after they brought him back to ICU. He is mostly breathing on his own at this time so the breathing tube should come out today (awesome to get it out on day 1). They did an ultrasound this morning and we're awaiting the official results before removing the breathing tube, but I did get a thumb up from Dr. Healey when he peaked into the room and looked over the shoulder of the girl that was doing the ultrasound. Mario's incision is open this time, only the skin, muscles sown closed...they are being very careful about infection since this is the 4th time they opened through that incision. Today will be a quiet day, I'll update later if there is anything new.

morning/internet down: hi everyone its Chantel talked with Phoebe the internet is down at the hospital she will update the blog as soon as possible.. Mario is doing good, they are hoping to takeout his breathing tube later today. Mario is being a trooper.

I can't wait for the little guy to get back to his home, and to resume his life.
He is a really tough kid.
