Tubes are out

Zack's surgeon removed all of his tubes this afternoon. It wasn't a particularly pleasant experience, unfortunately. However, they gave him some Versed to calm him down and (more importantly) forget about the discomfort. He still has an IV for medication, but he's free of most of the encumbrance now.

Zack also sat up with assistance this afternoon. This helped clear additional fluid from his chest and paved the way for the removal of his chest tube.
