James' surgeon decided to postpone the dye study until Monday. James is still on some breathing support even though he's off the vent and the surgeon wants him closer to his normal self before he does the study. Our surgeon also couldn't attend the study today and on Monday he'll be able to do it himself.

James got his central line out this morning and he's on full feeds. He still has 1 IV, but there's nothing running into it regularly. It's just used to give him pain meds as he needs them (every 6 hours or so).

James also got his chest tube out today! Much better! After that I got to hold him!!!! It was nice to just sit and talk with him in my lap.

The plan is to move him out of the ICU to a regular room over the weekend. We are looking forward to this because then Dave and I can both stay with him as opposed to just one of us. And it will be nice to see my husband some more too :)
