Finally a step forward!

Tuesday was Ryker's surgery day to remove the stent. Parker thankfully was able to be there. The surgeon told us his esophagus is healed. No more hole. So they extubated him. Ryker is now on a cpap machine. It might take a while to get on track for high flow. He is off morphine and not sedated anymore. His esophagus and nose is inflamed and sore, but everyday he is improving. Finally a step forward. Hopefully no more steps back.
