Still on life support

So Noah is still on life support...they were able to take him off the EEG this morning because his siezures have stopped and he is back to baseline siezure-wise.... They were going to try to remove the life support today but decided against it. They decided that they wanted to make sure his stomach surgery from 2008 was still intact before removing. They also wanted to give him a med that would help with swelling in his throat from removing the tube on Wednesday and having to replace the tube.....and they wanted to give him lasix to help with the water retention that he is having...the plan if all goes well is to try tomorrow morning if all goes well... They also want to try to lower the stats on the respirator and make Noah do more of the work today. They are being very careful so that the next time they remove the tube it doesnt have to go back in. They are unable to lower the stats yet because while in for his test he woke up and began to struggle a little bit with the tube being down his throat so they had to sedate him more than they usually have too... The test showed that his stomach surgery is still intact and doing well... So now it is just a waiting game.........crossing fingers for tomorrow!!!
