The Magic Button ( 6:45 pm )

 Adam now has a Morphine drip and can self administer a dose every 10 minutes.  He is in high spirits this evening.  A few more tubes have been removed.  He is drinking only clear liquids so far but he really isn't feeling interested in food yet.  It has been a steady stream of specialists coming through much of the day.  Things are quieting down for the night.  Tomorrow he will meet with the PT and OT folks and they will get him standing and likely walking some.  He is reading your texts and is appreciative of all the love and well wishes.  I will be here tomorrow and will provide another update or two.

Awakening ( 8:10 am )

 Adam is slowly waking up and is glad to hear things went so well.  He is pretty heavily sedated but has been able to write a few short messages on a notepad.  He'll likely be able to look at his phone later today so feel free to text well wishes to him.   If things go like last time he will probably remain in the ICU for several days and then graduate to the Patient Care Unit ( PCU ) for several days.   Too early for visits now, but we'll share info on how to swing by as things progress.

Tubes ( 11:45 am )

 Breathing tube is out and several vestigial IV ports have been removed.  Adam has an oxygen mask proving some positive air pressure but he can communicate more easily.  He is not ready to talk on the phone and hasn't really even looked at any messages yet.  He has been asking about when he can stand up and start walking around.  They are slowing reducing the pain management.  All good signs.  I will plan to post again end of day.
