He still couldn't keep anything down so they switched his meds from zofran to phenergan. It seemed to work better. He drank some ginger ale and ate half a chicken nugget. It stayed with him for a few hours but then he got sick several times again overnight. We will keep trying today.
It was also a big day in that he was able to go for two walks! It was such a huge milestone and very emotional for me. He cried the whole time because I can only imagine it was painful, but he kept at it and didn't give up. We are hoping to make it to the fish tank today!!
He also had more wires and monitors removed. He had two monitors called cerebral oximeters on his forehead that were taken off. Also a type of IV called an arterial line was removed and lastly a transthoracic line. So now he's left with two chest tubes and two IVs. And a nasal cannula for small amount of oxygen until he gets chest tubes out. We are hopeful that he may be moved out of ICU tomorrow if he can eat and have no issues with food and chest tubes.
Hoping for a great day today with lots of food and walking!

Praying for Colt to have a quick healing process. Having a little one the same age makes looking at some of the pictures heart breaking & brings tears to my eyes. Without a doubt he is an extremely strong willed & determined little man with two very strong parents to have made it through the circumstances that you & Drew have & still have your sanity! Colt as well as the both of you will remain in my prayers! God bless Colt for all he has endured & God bless his parents for being there for him & being so strong! -Kathy Hedgepeth
