It's Out!

Such great news to report, the little mister is breathing on his own! They extubated around 10:30 this morning much to Eamon's delight, and mine! They started him on 3 liters of oxygen, but that has been moved down to 2 liters (his norm is .25 liters - just a needed puff). The x-rays show some fluid in lungs, probably related to surgery, that he needs to work out - a challenge for Eamon on a good day. He is sore, morphine to the rescue, but looks really well - his usual adorable self. No smiles or laughs yet, but I can tell he's on the verge! They plan to move Eamon out of ICU as soon as a bed becomes available - YEAH!

There are a couple of precious babies neighboring Eamon, but they are alone. There moms had to go home last night and have not been able to return yet. What heartbreak. I am so grateful for family that cares so beautifully for my Maeve and Myles so I can be with Eamon. And, the comfort of knowing when I leave later, for a much needed shower, Eamon will be in absolute capable, loving hands - his MiMi. Eamon never needs to be left alone. God has provided a "village" to help - He is so Good!

Your prayers are felt and so appreciated.
I am eternally grateful, Tracy XO

We are friends of Ginny's and we've been praying for Eamon and your entire family.

Not only that, but our whole church is praying too.

We pray for God's continuing healing touch.
