When I entered the room this evening I was greeted by those big beautiful brown eyes and a wave. The ventilator was removed this afternoon. Jadon is breathing on his own but continues to receive oxygen. While his vocal cords are inoperative after the ventilator he has no problem trying to articulate his comments and desires for a slushy. He will have to wait for the slushy until he is cleared by the doctor though. But that doesn’t keep him from trying to negotiate with the nurse where after she informed him it would not be today he retorted with “Oh, man”. His next chemotherapy will be this weekend. He was receiving PediaSure through his nose this evening. The surgeons continue to closely monitor his bodily functions another day. While he is slowly improving his condition remains very serious. His fragility is still very apparent.
