Colt got all 3 chest tubes taken out yesterday and Bradley and I got to hold him for the first time since his surgery, it was kinda scary since he is sore and he can't be picked up under his arms, but he was really glad, everytime he seen us, he gave us that look like "Why are you picking me up?"
Over all everything is going as planned, he did have to get a blood transfusion last night and still have some feeding issues, but the doctors said that it was not uncommon. Colt's lab work came back today good, so we got moved to step down to the Children's Hospital today. Is that not amazing, only in the PICU for 4 days after surgery. We really did not want to move to the floor, the nurses in the PICU are so wonderful. Bradley, Colt, and I got really attached to them and I think they got attached to Colt.
These ladies are so very caring and compassionate, they treated Colt just like he was their own, which means so much.

~ Special thanks to Colt's favorite nurses : Kim, Jessica, Erin, Dru, Phyllis, Selena, and Erma. ~
Other than 1 IV line in his head that they put in yesterday after they removed his chest tubes. He is not attached to any wires or monitors, just getting his vitals taken every few hours, we even got to take him a ride down the hall in a wagon. Hopefully we will get to come home soon
