End of day 2

Colton is doing very well and is acting more and more like himself. He has now been up for about 6 hours straight and is fighting sleep just as he always has. He is enjoying watching movies and giving everyone a hard time. All of his IV ports are still connected to him, but there is nothing hooked to any of them, so he is on his own at this point with the exception of whatever the nurse gives him periodically. The nurse said that around 5 am tomorrow will be removing the drain tube as well as all of the IV's, and preparing him for release to the step down unit. We should be down there in the morning. Hopefully he will fall asleep soon..........
