Tube is out!!!!

Hes on a high flow nasal cannula,which is a lot of oxygen with a flow behind it & so far hes doing great!He gets scared when he coughs,because for the first time ever hes coughing into his mouth!He sounds SOOO different ,but once the swelling goes away then we will have his true voice.They had to check his blood levels & he said to the nurse "go away you mean lady".....So far that's all he said & "Go away!"I will post pics in a bit.............Love,Angie

Yeah. All signs point to good! Fingers crossed for the coming hours and days and continued improvement. Parker was hoarse for a week or so. In fact, we couldn't hear his cry at all until we were down on B5 for a few days. Give that boy a big squeeze for me! I am so excited for you guys I could just cry. -Suzanne
