WOOOOHOOOOO!!

It's out! We saw Dr Fyda today and he okayed the tube removal. I am so relieved. Now, we just have to wait for a healing of the hole (worst case it doesn't heal and they stitch it). I'm thrilled and David got a new train out of it, so he's thrilled, too.

I changed David's gauze tonight. It looks like the hole is closing nicely already. It's quite small after only half a day, so I am thinking that we won't have any trouble with it.
