Dr. G stopped in today and was very impressed with my eating. He was supposed to buy the nurse lunch that got me off oxygen, I'm not sure who is getting the credit for that. They only got 6ml of stuff out of my lungs in the last 24 hours, so he said I could lose the chest tube. And as you can tell their are no tubes and wires currently attached. After about 15 minutes of pulling the tube and leads and enough tape to wrap a mummy, I am finally free. Now Mom and Dad can move more than 2 feet from my bed.
I was a little upset when they pulled off all the tape, but Mom comforted me quickly. And the most shocking news of the day came when Dr. G. said I will be getting a chest X-ray today and tomorrow and if they are both clear, I will be discharged Sunday or possibly Monday. He said the minimal amount of fluid was clear and I was tolerating the formula very well. Uncle Ken said I have to hurry up and get out of St. Louis because everytime he comes to visit me the Cardinals lose. Well I have to pick Mom and Dad up off the floor now, because they were so shocked by this recent information. Everyone just keep there fingers crossed for my next two chest X-rays and I'll be seeing everyone real soon.

Amazing how God has worked and given such great progress! The power of prayer is awesome indeed! Blessings to everyone there as you prepare to go home. Continued prayers for Madox and his little buddy that just had surgery Friday. Take care!
Hugs & Smiles!

Great news Maddox!!! Ware so relieved that you are healing so quickly. We were thinking of coming to see you and your parents on Monday in St. Louis. Sounds like we won't be doing that now. We know you'll need a little time to get adjusted when you get home, so just let us know when you are ready for vistors. Eventhoung we haven't seen you yet, we feel like we already know you you so well.

Way to go Madox!!!!!!! That definitely makes this a much better day for us. You see, where we live it is snowing. I have never seen it snow on April 26th, but it is.
Our fingers are crossed. Keep up the good work. You are a great inspiration to your friend Fisher. How is he doing today?
By the time we get to Springfield this summer, this will all be far behind us. You will be home and super strong.
