The surgeon took all four chest tubes out this morning. Scott is free to roam about without two large chest tube drainage containers attached to an IV pole. And his pain decreased a lot when the chest tubes came out.

They have given us the choice to go home this evening or to stay another night. He's doing really well so we may opt for this evening. It sure would be nice to spend Christmas with Chris, Marja and Maz's cousins. We will decide over the next couple of hours.
