Saturday Afternoon

Reece had a very restful night. The ventilator was removed and he is breathing on his own!! His cell counts are good and his vitals stable. Soon they are going to place a PIC line to give him TPN (total parental nutrition) intravenously. He will receive his nutrition this way for the next six weeks to allow his digestive system to rest and heal. The doctor was able to decrease his dose of morphine and he is more responsive. (esp. to his mother's voice) :)
