Pace This!

There's not a whole lot to report for today, which is really a good thing, when you think about.  The main new development is that he is no longer on the pacemaker.  His heart rate still has a ways to go to get back to where it was before, but we're slowly getting there.  They are also slowing weaning him off the breathing tube.  It can't come out until after his chest is closed (this might happen tomorrow), but he has started initiating his own breaths, which is good.  All of these signs are encouraging and we continue to be very blessed, but as, before, he continues to essentially live in the danger zone.

I can't say it enough, though:  he's a tough little guy.
