Elijah was extubated again at 2 today. He's really happy with no tube in and has been smiling a lot. He is still breathing a little heavy and working more than the Dr's would like. They are giving some nebulizer stuff every now and then to try to loosen up his lungs and help him breath more freely.
He looks a lot better than Monday but needs to have a good couple hours and breath easier before we are out of the woods.
He's such a strong, tough little guy (he spent all morning without drugs or food and was in a good mood despite all that), please pray that the tube stays out and his lungs adapt quickly.
We'll update you all later and post some good smiley pics of the boy!

I have been keeping up with Elijah's progress through your dad and the web-site. I pray for him everynight and will continue to pray until he is at home and on the mend.
Love Aunt Marsha
Wonderful news!! I have been thinking about Eli all evening and finally had a chance to log on. So happy to hear this news! I will say a prayer before bed that Eli (mommy and daddy too)has a peaceful and restful night. Can't wait to see that contagious smile of his! Hugs! Tammy
I am so HAPPY to hear that Elijah was extubated. I am keeping all of you in my prayers. Oh and from your previous post...some nurses deserve a smack upside the head. Never be afraid to question what someone is doing with your loved one. It is totally your right. I love you guys. Hang in there!!!

Wonderful! I remain in prayer that the tube is still out and that we'll get some pictures of his sweet smile today.
