Better than expected

Brian and I got great news that we weren't expecting at the hospital tonight. . . they're planning to extubate Lawson (take out the breathing tube) tomorrow afternoon!!!! His right lung is perfectly healthy and his left lung, which was under the most stress from the beginning, is taking a little longer to heal. So apparently his chest x-rays, blood gases, and performance on the jet over the last few days have led them to decide that he's ready to try it again. Let's pray that this time it's for good!
