The tube is out!

The tube is out! He can't talk for 2 hours so we're trying to use our rusty sign language.  Its so good to see his smile! He doesn't know everything that's happened but he knew today is Wednesday. The doctor talked to us about goals: clearing the lungs, gaining strength, etc.  Because he's had a previous transplant they have to be more picky with this heart. That and weaning him from the ecmo will probably cause a longer wait.
