Lots of news! On Friday all of Jimmy's food and drink restrictions were lifted! He can now eat and drink whatever he wants! He has really been enjoying diet pepsi, diet coke, and pickles!

This went really smoothly over the weekend, and the nurses were able to convince him to take his pills by mouth instead of through his nose tube. Now that he can consistently take them by mouth, they are going to go ahead and pull out the nose tube! Whooooo!

He has been doing okay with the new trach tube, but he still needs them to suction out his lungs occasionally. It will all get better, and I am sure the trach tube will come out soon!
