Plan For Today

Okay, so here's what's going on so far. Micah is still intubated, but they are hoping to take the tube out later on today. They are giving him medicine to help his throat and to keep him calm. (he thrashes every time someone touches him) He is not going to get the throat scope today. The ENT docs say his throat is too swollen. They plan on doing that next week. So we will be in the hospital for at least a week. If Micah does well breathing off the ventilator we MIGHT be moved to the main cardiac floor. He is showing no signs of pneumonia. (HURRAY!!!!!!!!!) He is still fighting against his tube so I know he'll be happy to have that out, even if his throat is going to hurt a lot. They are still keeping a close eye on his lung, just to be on the safe side. Now we wait and he recovers. Time for cartoons!!!
