Happy Guy

Davis was in a good mood today and seems to be feeling much better.  I guess burping, farting and 8 poopy diapers will do that to a guy! We finally saw his amazing smile this morning and a few more times this afternoon. That smile is worth a million dollars.  But let me back up a bit...we had our CPR class this morning at the Mayo clinic building and it went great.  It's interesting that they change the rules every year, so now we know the cutting edge techniques in case he chokes or stops breathing. Davis no longer has any lines, catheters, etc. in anymore!!! Only a monitor to measure his blood oxygen levels and electrodes to monitor his heart rate and breathing.  He has been most interested in snuggling with Mom. Davis got to go on multiple wagon rides around the unit and seemed to enjoy them much more than yesterday.  He was putting smiles on patient's faces with every lap.  It looks like we will be discharged on Wednesday assuming all continues to go well. Davis will be going home on oxygen until we see how he does once we get back to elevation but doctors are expecting that he will not need it. His levels have been very good today and he has been away from the oxygen 'blow-by' tube most of the time. We are expecting Davis to be back to his 'old' self tomorrow.


Yeah for wagon rides!

Yes, that smile is truly worth a million dollars!! And what exciting news that Davis may be released on Wednesday...just one week after his surgery...absolutely unbelievable!! I think that doctor may be worth a million dollars as well!!! Does Davis have a wagon? Sounds like a great b-day present to me. Thanks again for your priceless updates and wonderful photos. Have a blessed day tomorrow as you soak up some more of those smiles!
