Graysen graduated from his breathing tube today. The doctors think he may be able to have his chest tube removed tomorrow. The removal of the chest tube is a big deal, because it means that he'll be able to eat for the first time. (Up until now, he's only been given nutrients intravenously.) If he continues to recover at this pace, he may be able to leave the ICU by next Monday. When he leaves the ICU, he'll move to a "Step Down" unit where he'll learn to be a normal baby, living without IVs, feeding tubes, etc.
