We made it out of the ICU to the surgical floor.
And we are so delighted to have a private room!
Jules is up on his feet, walking around and the new pain meds thru the
iv are helping him. He took 3 ounces of food for the first time, which is his biggest bottle.
We are so happy to have avoided intubation and so glad to see him smile for the first
time.
We are trying to stay on top of the pain. Our criteria for going home are:
1. Eating/drinking his normal intake of food, which is 5-6 bottles with about 5oz each of food in them.
2. No bleeding
3. No fever
4. Pain controlled
And we have to watch and see his oxygen needs.

I'm sorry the overnight was so difficult. Thank goodness for nurses, though. I hope the Tylenol makes a difference for him.
Wow -- you made it out of the PICU so quickly and he's getting his appetite back, too.
We know you've got a lot going on and we really appreciate the updates.
