Nichole and I received a double dose of great news today. In the early wee hours this morning we were informed that Will had grown tired of his ventilator and began tugging at the tube. Dr. Whitman gave the order and the vent was removed. Will immediately began breathing on his own and didn't skip a beat. By this afternoon the swelling in his face subsided and he began to look like the "pre-surgery Will." Obviously, Nichole and I are elated with his progress.
Second, we were informed that it is likely that Will will be discharged this coming week. As it stands now, Wednesday looks like the day. However, we were cautioned that this is still a day-to-day process, and as we've heard with other families, the release day can change at any moment and for a variety of reasons.
A big thank you to everyone for their prayers and well wishes. Nichole and I plan to sleep tonight.
