His chest tubes are draining great and there is no sign of fluid building up which is one of the side effects they are keenly watching for.
He is nicely sedated and being given generous doses of pain meds. About twice an hour he will wake up and scream bloody murder for about a minute. He has ranted, "My belly hurts," "I want a shirt," and "Why won't someone hold me?" He's confused and upset, which is to be expected, but clinically he is great.
Thanks again for all of your positive energy getting our guy to this point. We will post more tomorrow.

Get the poor boy a shirt, for cryin' out loud! :-)
Glad to hear that he's doing so well.
I've been thinking of your family all day. So proud of Blake - he is amazing! As are you all. You've stayed strong for him and each other.
