Afternoon: Mario had his arterial line removed and is happily waving his arm in the air (Freedom!) we just removed his oxygen tubes/tape from his face too, more freedom. He passed some gas while I was holding him in my lap, progress. And the big news for the afternoon is that we'll be moving to the floor! Out of the ICU! Gotta pack, more later...

Morning: Mario had a fussy evening, he slept for awhile then tossed and turned all night. The poor kid has been through 4 surgeries in 3 weeks, so not a surprise. His belly is distended, so we need to pass some more gas, another bm hopefully today before we can think about moving on to food.
