Chest is closed!

Yes! Dr.Fuller just told us his chest is closed and he is doing well! His pressures did not change once he was closed, so he is tolerating it very well. All that peeing the last few days has made a big difference! The pacing wire in his heart was removed but he still has the chest tube and RA lines. Dr.Licht wants to do a clinical MRI tomorrow to check for any injury the seizures might have caused. They are going to leave his breathing tube in through the MRI and then extubate on wednesday.

Just before the procedure this morning Jeremy and I were loving on him and Jensen opened his eyes wide and gave us a big smile! Now I know you probably think it was just gas, but we like to call it a smile. Whatever it was, it was the sweetest face I've ever seen :)
