Making Progress

Just a quick update....

Nicholas was able to have his beloved chocolate moo this morning, and the first thing he asked to eat was a chocolate donut and a chocolate muffin.  Glad to see him getting a little bit of his personality back!! 

He has definately not been able to understand what is happening to him.  He seems to be "comfortable", or rather not in pain.  But he seems to be very depressed and sad.  He cries on and off whenever he is awake.  He keeps continuously asking when we get to go home.  He is begging to talk to Sienna.  So Lorenzo pulled out some video on his phone of Sienna's birthday, and Sienna doing laundry, and Sienna goofing around in the leaves, and it seems to really perk him up. 

The docs came in for rounds this morning and they are very happy with his progress.  He will still spend one night and some of tomorrow in the CV-ICU if everything continues to improve as it has.  He will get his neck IV out tomorrow hopefully, because it seems to really bother him.  The main thing they are watching is a little bit of fluid in his right lung, but they seem to think he will resolve it without intervention. So the tenative plan is to stay in CV-ICU tonight and then transfer up to the recovery ward tomorrow.
