Moved Out of CICU

Last night around 5pm, Jonathan was moved into our room on the 5th floor at UAB. Dr. Pacifico reports that he's doing "Super." This is a huge move. He was only in CICU for about 30 hours. Julie went home to be with Jackson and her mom, Sue. My mom stayed with me and Jonathan. We got some good time together. He's eating again (milk) and seemed to be livening up. I got the first look at the incision. About 26 staples and much shorter than expected. It was really interesting.

The spot where his chest tubes were bleeding a bit, but this morning it's under control. His central line is the only thing still stuck in him. The nasal cannula will come out as soon as his oxygen saturation levels level out above 90 -- they're high 80's without the supplemental O2 right now. I held him for about 3 hours last night. It felt good.

Julie didn't sleep much last night, so please pray that she gets some rest today. Sue's with her at the hospital. I'm trying to get some work done. Also, please continue to pray for Jonathan's lungs to relax. All of your support is amazing.
