Brave little Bear...

Today has been ONE amazing day! 

Bear has been up and at 'em nearly all day! The morning began early with his Chest Tube being removed. Shortly after that they said it would be good for him to get up and take a walk. Well, there was NO stopping him. Nee Nay and Poppa were headed to the hospital and so Bear wanted to go meet them downstairs to surprise them. Dad went home to shower and rest so down the hall, around the corner, down 15 floors and to the front door, Mom, "Aunt Holly", and Bear went. They were SOOOO excited to see him up and walking. We got back to the room and he decided he wasn't finished with his adventure. He decided to "drive" a car down to the 3rd floor Food Court for lunch. Of course, he wanted the infamous Chick-Fil-A. After lunch he continued his adventure with Dad, Poppa, and Nee Nay and went on a wagon ride to check out the coolest Train ever down on the 1st floor. 

Here are some PRAISES that have taken place today:

*his chest tube was removed

*his chest x-ray this morning was "excellent"

*they continue to say that he is doing "remarkably well."

*he had an echo-gram

*he had an EKG test

*he's felt like eating/drinking

*slow removal of heavy pain meds

*sponge bath; new pajamas

We will be posting pictures of Bear's adventurous day around Texas Children's!
