Blake is almost completely wire-free and is moving to a crib today. All this freedom means we can pick him up and hold him whenever we want. He had his throat checked out and he has no damage to his vocal chords from the ventilator. An occupational therapist will work with us tomorrow to get him feeding from a bottle. He also has an MRI at 5 am tomorrow and a neurological evaluation, this will be the last tests for his clinical trial until his second surgery.
They are still discussing possible transport to Austin, but if that isn't granted we will be moved to the room-in floor either Tuesday or Wednesday. He really couldn't be doing any better. All of your thoughts and prayers have allowed us to be at this amazing point - thank you.

AMAZING NEWS!! And that is the happiest picture of father and son. I LOVE IT!! Thanks so much for sharing. I know it must be such a relief to simply hold him whenever you want. I am so happy all has gone so well. You are all in my constant thoughts and daily prayers. Much love to all of the Galligans...and a high five to the littlest Galligan. He's a total rockstar. Big hugs, Aunt Janey
He looks great! Pretty soon he will be chasing Stanley around the yard.
