They are watching for signs of aspiration pneumonia. If he gets it, it will show in about 24-36 hours. He's already on antibiotics, though. They want to stay ahead of anything he could get, but for now we are playing the waiting game. Some of his old nurses are here and they gave tonights nurse his ENTIRE history. They are all VERY surprised and a little sad he's back. But they are hard at work to get him better.
We are here in Boston! Micah had an uneventful trip (Thank God). He did give the doctors and nurses here a fight though. They thought they had him all sedated and were doing an Echo on him when he woke up "with a vengeance" and PULLED HIS BREATHING TUBE OUT!! They re-intubated him and they are watching him closely.
