Since last night Blake has been eating like his old self, and that sparkling personality is starting to shine through again. He is not receiving any oxygen as his oxygen saturation rate is in the expected range. During rounds this morning the surgical team said he looks great and should be ready for dismissal this week. The cardiology team would like to monitor his heart rate better today to make sure that it is fluctuating properly, so they have him on a 24 hour monitor and will assess him throughout. He also was analyzed by a neurologist, and he was very pleased with Blake's responses.
Mason and her Mimi came up to visit and Mason was so happy to see her "Blakey". She immediately ran over to see him, and within minutes he was smiling at the sound of her voice.It's pretty remarkable how in love with her he is and vice versa.
The doctors did mention that even when we are released, they are going to ask us to stay in Houston for a couple of days so we can check back in on his status and they can examine his incision. We are keeping our fingers crossed that hurricane Ike doesn't decide to hit Houston! Overall, we are very pleased with his progress and just looking forward to coming home.

Blake looks so good! We have all been praying for his speedy recovery. Looks like it has been doing good. Both Joe and Carol asked me to let you know that their thoughts are with you (as are mine).
I am so pleased at his progress. Can't wait to see the little champ again.
