So... Not all the doctors agreed it was a good idea to remove the tube while David was still sedated. Most importantly, the doctor in charge is a wake-up-before-we-take-the-tube-out kind of guy. And since he's still not conscious... The tube is still in. They say it should come out tomorrow.
There are good signs. He raises his arms up every time they try to suction him. His eyes have been fluttering. He's doing some of his own breathing. He coughs on his own. And it was probably a good thing he was out of it today. They had to retape the tube around his mouth. (thats removing he old tape and putting newvstuff on, all while holding your mouth and the tube very still. They also started a new IV and removed the central line. These are all hings that are easier when you're not awake enough to hurt or fight them off.
The fever he's had could be caused by a UTI, they confirmed today, so I see some antibiotics in David's future.
