Finally out of the ICU!!! Alex pretty much slept through the night in his private room in the ICU. I checked in on him around 2 and he was doing great. He woke up around 5 and I joined him at 6. He was very content but still wouldn't eat. By 8, the doctors came around and said, "He sure doesn't look like and ICU patient. We'll get you upstairs as soon as we can.". While we waited, Grandpa Bob held him. Then, Dr. Overman took out his pacing wires and Jillian took out his peripheral IV. Then, we moved on up to the Intermediate Care Unit (IMCU) on the 3rd floor by 10:30. Up here, he has a private room with a sofa that folds out into a full-size bed. Grandma Gay showed up and brought Sloppy Joes. Then, mom showed up around noon. Around 1, mom got him to take 4 oz out of his bottle. Then, Grandma Shirley and Evan came up and said hi. Alex took a little nap while Evan played at the Sibling play area and then came up to say goodbye. He's even taken another 3 oz of formula. If we can keep him eating, he'll be on the fast track to going home. Here's a few pictures from today.
