They took out the breathing tube and everything else besides an IV and the feeding tube. Russell has sensors on him and is on oxygen (1 liter as opposed to 1/16 of a liter at home) to make sure everything goes well. The oxygen will be tapered down eventually.
We're not allowed to stimulate Russell a.k.a. not talk or touch him. :( They want him relaxed and he is easily stimulated by touch or sound.
Last night's nurse said Russell is very strong. When she went to move him, she only took one side of him out of the blankets at a time. Otherwise, he would move all of his limbs and she couldn't wrangle all of them at the same time. She was also concerned that he would kick out his breathing tube.
