Will, your breathing tube is out! Yeah!!! I called the unit around 9:15 this morning and your nurse Mallary told me you were extubated. I said, "Shut up!" She says you are confused, but that you know that you are in the hospital. You may be confused for awhile, even a week or more. She also said the eye doctors were in the room with you this morning. We still don't know if you have had loss of vision. Mom, Dad, & I are running around here getting our stuff together so we can drive up and see you. I know I am very anxious to see you. Your hematocrit is stable today so you don't need any more blood. All good stuff! See you soon- we love you.
