McKay came off the sedatives well and even opened his eyes a few times this afternoon. A difficult feat because his eyelids are so swollen you'd think he'd been in a bar fight. They have him on three diuretics right now to try to drain all the excess fluid from his body. His chest tube is still very active and it looks like it will be a day or two before he loses that nasty portal of junk. The good news is that he
is draining instead of holding onto the fluid which can be very dangerous, so we'll take it.
I did get to hold him today which was a great milestone in the healing process. He napped and I rocked. It was good couples' therapy.
We're looking forward to a much less eventful night and possibly some real sleep. Thanks so much for all the good energy, prayers and generally good ju ju you have sent our way--we feel it, McKay feels it, and it heals.

What a great sight to see him snoozing away in your arms..."couples therapy"...!! You crack me up! I hope that McKay continues to drain like crazy and that his nurses can keep up the right drug combination to keep him comfy!
Thank you so much for all the updates. FYI I've been training my girls to pray for your not so little guy. I'm sooooo glad things are going well.
