Cardiac ICU - Day 2

.... spent all day with Layne at the Cardiac ICU.  

First and most importantly, he is doing well.  The numbers on all the vital statistics are within the range of what the doctors want them to be.  

When I arrived in the morning, the breathing tubes had been removed and he had the a bi-pap on which while was not his favorite thing, was assisting his breathing.  During the day, his breathing improved.  He was moved twice from the bed to a chair.  By the end of the day, he had started eating. 

Overall he's looking pretty good and the long process of recovery and getting the breast bone to fuse and heal is on the way.

It goes without saying, we appreciate your support and best wishes.

I'll write again tomorrow.
