Thurs am

J.J.'s still ticking along... they closed his chest yesterday evening around 6 pm. They were ready to take out the breathing tube last night but he's such a fighter that everytime they go down on his sedation he starts getting really agitated. They will likely try to take it out sometime this morning.

We're all doing well, Jackie seems happy and has been doing lots of fun stuff. We've had a visit with him everyday for a few hours. We're still managing to be with J.J. around the clock and getting reasonable sleep and food.
