Big Better Day at the ICU

Hooray! Today is a better day for our little Noah. After his massive seizure yesterday, he has not experienced another. He has just been sleeping off the elephant dose of medicines he received yesterday morning. At about 830am his ventilator was removed and they just officially removed the ventilator machine from the room which means everyone is confident he won't need it again. We also removed the electrodes from his head as the docs are pretty confident he won't have another seizure and his neurologist got plenty of information already.

Now we are just waiting for him to wake up completely and demonstrate that he can take some food. If he does that, we can bring home our little guy today. So, he's crusty and stinky, but doing much better.

Owen is also holding up pretty well. He's at a "swim party" at his Aunt Andrea's house today. Geoff has been sleeping at home with him each night and says Owen is having a hard time sleeping, but things should hopefully be back to good old normal soon.
