Carson Pics and update

As most of you know, Carson moved out of the ICU on Saturday. Yay! He is doing well. They changed the last of his IV meds to oral, so the Broviac (central line in his chest) will come out tomorrow. This means that he can come home soon! I was told that he should be able to come home the end of the week. Ahhhh! I can't believe it! We're hoping that I will be able to "room-in" with him (which is required before he can come home) on Thursday and then bring him home on Friday. The nurse told me that that shouldn't be a problem, but as we've learned many times throughout Carson's hospital stay, things can change. So we'll have to just wait and see if that actually happens. As of now, it looks like Russ will get his wish, which is to have his whole family at Graduation on Saturday. Carson will come home with a feeding tube and most likely oxygen. We have to learn how to give him his meds through the feeding tube and how to handle the feeding pump and oxygen. We are nervous, but also so excited to finally get him home!

Here are the latest pics. There are a bunch of them, so I did a slide show.
