Archie is doing well and as you can see he’s been extubated for a day or two now. He has been in a bit of pain what with the jaw stuff coming off again, so he’s got some meds for that and also probably as a consequence of that he didn’t fully cooperate with a swallow study yesterday. Slow but steady progress is the order of the day. For the moment he still has the NG tube in, but should be bottle feeding soon.

The op today went well, and now he has a nose trumpet in rather than an ET tube. So that must be a bit more comfortable for the little guy. Now, we wait another 7 days for the distraction to run its course (again).
