Waiting is still hard...

They're giving Teddy some meds to help with the inflammation in his throat around the breathing tube. Basically, they need to get the inflammation down to extubate him. Currently, we're looking at tonight or tomorrow for that. The good news is that when they gave him the meds, more airflow around the tube means that it's his swollen throat (from the bypass machine and from being entubated) is what's going on, not that there's fluid around the tube that's preventing airflow. This means that when the swelling goes down and he's a little more awake, they can remove the tube.

Also, as he wakes up, they'll probably be using new and interesting restraints on him to keep him from pulling out the tubes. I've heard talk of a baby straightjacket being deployed (if it's blue with little teddy bears or duckies or something, I will probably laugh, because that would be hilariously adorable). A big part of the problem last night was that when he did sort of wake up, he thrashed around. This pulled one of his arterial lines out of place, and that led to everything going badly. So that's why the straightjacket may be used. Or some other little baby restraints.
