Blood Pressure

Theo is having a little trouble controlling his blood pressure tonight.  When it goes up, it goes high enough to get the attention of the nurses.  The rise in BP could be due to him being in pain or it could be a sign of an issue with his heart.
Good news is that his swelling has gone down which means he isn't retaining so much fluid any more.


Take a look at this picture though, he looks just perfect doesn't he!?!

Extubation...

The doctors have taken out Theo's breathing tube and he is doing well breathing on his own. They are still working on making him more comfortable but he seems to be recovering well.
