Cooper had his chest tube taken out very early this morning because it really hasn't had a lot of drainage over the past couple of days. Some new views of x-rays were taken on Tuesday night and the doctors are very pleased with the results. Over the past week they have seen a daily improvement of about 5% but today they saw a 20% improvement of his infected lung! They are hearing more movement of air through his right lung and he was off oxygen all night and all day with very few episodes of distress. He also went almost 12 hours without spiking a fever, what an improvement, this are the improvements we need to continue to get out of here. He was on the play mat for several hours today playing and getting into trouble. He has been trying to stand but unfortunately his IV is in his foot and we are not even thinking about changing it due to the trouble last time, so he is happy enough with crawling to get into trouble. That's my rotten redhead! So all in all another good day. Still no official word of when we are to be released but I told Cooper that he has to get out before 2 weeks because right now AJ holds that record! :)
Chut and Tete came to visit. Chut tried having a picnic dinner with him on the playmat but his appetite his still pretty poor.
