Fantastic boys

The boys were doing great at lunch.
Griffith was extubated at about 11 and was doing just fine off of the vent. He had been awake all morning according to Jenny and was wide awake while I was there. I don't know if he was just very well rested from the two days' sleep or if he is afraid of what will happen if he goes to sleep again. Either way he was pretty alert. With a little bit of luck, he'll get to start eating again this afternoon.
Allan was wide awake, too. He is clearly feeling much better and has lost a lot of the fluid that had built up. He's still puffy, but his breathing is easier and slower. He was apparently feeling pretty sassy (full of beans?) at lunch because he kept tooting in Alissa's face while she was trying to change his diaper. It is a good thing he's so darned cute or that kind of behavior might be considered annoying.
