Everett had his pacemaker wires and chest tubes removed today! They gave him some drugs that didn't knock him out, but made him more at ease. They brought in a child life specialist and she did a great job keeping him entertained. She blew bubbles and Everett would let out a really loud "Ohhhhh!" He did fuss a little bit, but I'm sure it had to hurt a great deal for them to just yank wires and tubes out of his chest. I didn't take any pictures... you're welcome. Now, he just has on leads to monitor his vitals, but they are hooked up to a portable box. They also took out the IV in his foot, so he should be able to walk around after he wakes up from his nap.
