Chest tubes gone!

Anthony had a pretty good night and slept well. He was having some pressure in his chest which was probably from the chest tubes. They took another chest x-ray this morning and everything looked great. The surgeon and cardiologists said he was ready to have ALL the chest tubes removed! YAY! They gave him some extra pain medications and the nurse practitioner literally pulled (really fast) the test tubes out. He felt much better after and could finally take deep breaths again. They are going to do another echo and chest x- ray today and if everything looks good he will be able to go home tomorrow!!
