Update

So after talking to the hospital today, Melvin had his chest tube and G-tube taken out. They have been able to lower his meds throughout the day to wake him up a little more. He is feeling well enough to go outside quickly to do his business and he even ate a little today. The tech said that they just hold him after he eats to have gravity help keep the food down in his tummy. Personally, they way Melvin hugs, I'm sure they are just doing it cause it is just awesome to get a Melvin hug!
Hopefully we can pick him up tomorrow sometime. Keep you posted!
