Damon woke up in a bad mood this morning. He wanted everyone other than me. He was grouchy and cranky and just didn't want to be messed with. He went poop this morning which is a good sign. They were going to start him on stool softner today but now he doesn't have to have it. And when the drs rounded they said his respiratory treatments could stop. He was being woken up every 4 hours for those during the night and he really didn't like them at all so that was also a praise. I left him with Jeremy about 10:30 and came back about 2pm. He was up in the playroom and when he got back he was in a much better mood. He was telling me about all the things he did up there. He got to go down to the gift shop for a few minutes and picked out a medicine kit and a doctors coat as the toys he wanted to buy. He hasn't tried it on yet but I'm sure he is going to be sooo cute! His drainage has went down to almost nothing since yesterday. This is the biggest praise of all because sometimes there can be a lot and that can keep kids in the hospital.

Dr Huddleston came in just a few minutes ago and said that as long as his drainage keeps going like it is he can get his drain tubes out tomorrow and hopefully he can go home on Saturday. Please take this news with a grain of salt because things can change in a matter of minutes. It has happened to us before. Once we were told everyday for 6 days that we would be going home that day and one thing after another kept us there. But I know that God is faithful and He can make it happen so pray that Damon will stay on the path to complete recovery. Pray also that his mood will be lifted and that I can think of fun things to keep him occupied. Pray for my mood as well. Pray that his energy level will increase and that he will not have any pain or discomfort from getting out of bed and walking. Talk to you all soon.
