Susan here...
Sorry I didn't update again last night. They finally decided to wake Nathan up yesterday afternoon to remove the breathing tube. They were waiting fo him to wake up but we could tell he was just staying asleep to avoid being conscious while it was in. He was responding to us by nodding when we would ask him things but then would just go back to sleep. After the tube came out (which was no big deal to my surprise) he started talking to us. He took a little nap and then woke up asking us to read a book. We then put a movie on for him and he stayed awake for awhile watching. He had a good night and doesn't seem to be in very much pain. He still has the epidural for pain control but is not on any sedating medications. I slept in the hospital and Luke went back to the Ronald McDonald House to sleep since he was very very tired due to being up some the night before being talked to by another parent in the "quiet room".
We expect Nathan wil be awake more today and they may try to sit him up a little.
He had a sponge bath and linen change this morning which he didn't like but it was very good for his lungs to complain a little. He still can't be very loud.
This time I promise to update later!
