Christian was extubated tonight at 8:30! He is doing great! He even let out a nice toot! (That is a very important thing in the medical community.) He is still crying a lot as you can imagine. At first there was no sound, just tears, but now that the breathing tube is out, he makes little hoarse cries. It is the saddest thing EVER! He is waking up more and more, but they keep him pretty drugged up so that he doesn't get carried away and pulls out tubes. His little face is so swollen, it doesn't even look like him. They said that the swelling will most likely be worse tomorrow as will the pain level, but after that, things should be getting better. We'll post more pictures and updates tomorrow. Good night!

Baby Christian
Christian was born with two very rare congenital heart defects; Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) and Endocardial Fibroelastosis (EFE) He will require three (two down, one to go!) open-heart surgeries to sustain life. He is a miracle and a blessing. We are so greatful to have him here with us. Thank you for stopping in.
