Day 8 Update

Sam is continuing to make progress. Yesterday, they took out pacemaker leads that they only use if needed (and he didn't), an IV line, breathing tube, and they have lowered his oxygen through the cannulas. He has tubes that they left in for drainage around his heart, and those are supposed to come out today, too. We have tried to bottle feed him three or four times, but he mostly just chews and doesn't act too interested. He is only taking regular old Tylenol for pain!  

Yesterday and overnight have been pretty uneventful, thankfully!  Once the drainage tubes are out today, we'll be able to hold him. I can't wait!!

He is looking awfully cute sleeping so sweetly!
