Brody is doing pretty good still. He is down to 3 tubes now. He is well enough to leave the PICU but they don't have a free room on the oncology wing and they dont want to put him in general pediatrics... so will spend another night in the picu.... he looks good.... is alert and watching some vids.... he says he is hingry but they don't want to let him eat until hey are sure his gi tract is working... he still has an ng tube (nasal gastro i think is what it means) it is slowly sucking any fluid or mucus from his stomach... they let him eat ice chips but it is sucking the water right out.... fhey can clamp it for a while and give him tylenol through it.... he is getting some morphine every few hours too.
Trish went home to sleep about 6 or so.... i told her not to come back til at least 2 am.... he hopefully will have a restful night and let me sleep.. i got a few naps in today.
He is ready to leave although his body isn't....
