Brody has gotten rid of 2 more tubes that were annoying him today. He had is Foley cathter removed this morning and his NG tube this evening. He still has lots of tubes and wires attached but these 2 were bothering him the most. Brody is hoping to get to drink and eat soon. It looks promising that he may be able to start trying liquids tomorrow. He is a very hungry boy but the surgery group is afraid it is too soon yet to introduce any liquids or food. But tomorrow is a possibility.
Brody has not had any fevers yesterday or so far today. He is still taking multiple IV antibiotics and getting regular blood cultures. So far none of the blood cultures done have been growing anything since the one collected on March 1st at 4am.
Brody has gotten up and into a chair twice today (and twice yesterday). He will get up into a chair at least one more time today. It seems to be getting a little less painful for him each time.
Brody has needed oxygen off and on last night and today but his need for it is definetly decreasing and so is his pain level.
Brody has been very tired but he remains in good spirits and is progressing through everything very well.
