Morning Rounds

Lincoln had a pretty uneventful night! He kept trying to wake up from sedation, so this morning, they took him off of the breathing machines & out of sedation. He  is trying to get the junk out of his lungs, and is pretty agitated by pain & frustration of wires. 

That being said, the doctors and physician's assistant are optimistic from his echo and X~Ray this morning. They are starting his heparin drip, and his chest tubes have stopped draining as much. He is still swollen, but not nearly as puffy as he was as a baby after surgery. 

Trying to hang in here today- hoping and praying his heart rhythms continue to balance out, and he stays relatively calm as he becomes more awake. And if you know Lincoln-  that would be a miracle in itself. Thank you for your prayers, thoughts, meals, gifts, and messages. We greatly appreciate it. Xoxo
