They removed Presley's drain tube about 2 hours ago. While it was there, you could see it under his scalp, as it ran from the top, right, rear of his head all the way in to his forehead between the eyes. Now that it's gone, it's just that much easier to see he is improving. The doctor's still seem to think we could possibly leave as early as tomorrow or Friday. With Presley eating, and peeing on his own now, those are the key elements along with the ability to control pain via oral medications. He has only been taking oral oxycodone and tylenol since early today.
The shared room has been insteresting ... trying to keep positive. Our roomates also have an infant, but they are MUCH younger and are spending a lot of time on the phone and with their TV up loud. Apparently, the male has to be in court tomorrow for the last time ... something about his probation. So, we are learning a lot about other people.
Back to Presley, he continues to eat and rest well. It does appear that his swelling might have slowed down, if not stopped. We are hoping this continues so he won't have to experience any more discomfort then necessary.

Hi Dave and Dana,
Caitlin Nichols here, Sara gave me this link. Just wanted you to know I have you all in my thoughts. I'm glad to hear Presely is doing well. Sounds like the worst is definitely over.
All my love to you!
Gosh, Presley looks so much better today! Only a child could get Dad to take his hat off! Seriously, I'm so glad that he's doing better. Hope you two are doing okay, too. I know this has been exhausting for both of you and hope that soon you can get home and get some well deserved rest. Take care and give little Presley a hug - just from me. Look forward to talking with you next week.
Luv to all
Aunt Bickie
