Seeing our brave little guy

We are back with Landon now and he seems to be doing well. He is showing some signs of waking up (eyes open for short periods of time, limbs moving some) and seems to be on a lot fewer meds than last time. They are already letting him do a trial of breathing on his own because especially with this surgery they want to get him off the respirator as soon as possible.

So it's possible he'll be off it this afternoon or evening which would be really encouraging since at his last surgery he was on the respirator for like 3 days. Once he's off of that he can be held and start eating again. We've heard that with this surgery they usually come off of all the stuff a lot faster.

He seems to be pretty comfortable although he's still pretty sedated since he's on morphine for now. He's grimaced and looked unhappy a little bit but for the most part he just looks like he's sleeping peacefully.
