Friday May 6th! Our LIttle Boy!

   Lucas is more awake this a.m, well for longer periods of time anyway!  They have taken him off his pain medication drip.  He got some Tylenol about an hour ago and seems to be doing well with that.  He does complain that his chest hurts but it doesn't seem to be as bad as yesterday.  He still has the drainage tube coming out of his chest.  I want them to take that out but dread it at the same time.  It is my understanding that this will be very painful for him.  He will be moving to a regular room soon and we are very happy about this.  He has had one nurse that is for him and him only!  This hospital is wonderful!  So far its less pain medications, moving to a regular room, getting the tube removed and hopefully eating!  Hes coming a long well! Oh I forgot to tell you his biggest complaint, his but itches!!!!  LOL
