Doc just finished rounds......

After our nice warm showers this morning we walked back into Levi's room and the doctors were all there doing their rounds. The plan now is the breathing tube will be pulled out tomorrow, and if it comes out the arterial line will come out too. His EEG is showing some small abnormal bursts, but they are not considered seizures since they are only lasting about 2 seconds. He is coughing quite a bit, and everyone says that is REALLY good news. Not sure why its such good news, but everyone here is encouraged by it. They are uping his formula intake and he will be off all his IV nutrition supplements today. They are just letting them run out and will not replace them. Im sure that if he continues to do well with the seizures being kept under control, the EEG machine will be pulled off  soon. By tomorrow night he might look like a normal boy again, albeit with alot of extra skin. LOL Due to his puffyness, the doctor said he will have to grow into his new oversized skin. He is loosing some of his extra "water weight" and his little cheeks actually move around a little when you touch him.
