You got so much sleep last night! I am so glad that you are getting a good amount of sleep. They moved us to a different room in the ICU. You shared it with another little boy. I asked the nurse if we could have our own room because the little boy they put you next to was about your same age, and was crying a lot, and it was scaring you. So they moved him. But it is good that they moved us because it means that you are getting better. On Monday they are going to move you on to the next level of care, out of the ICU. You were able to keep down some food today, so that is even better for you. You have been off the machiene that cleans your blood for over a week now. They look at your blood everyday to see if you will need it again, and all the numbers keep getting better and better. You might not need to go back on it ever again! They also took the oxygen off. I just can't believe how well you are doing. We are just praying that your skin grafts are healing well and your body is accepting them.
