All kinds of good stuff came off today. three chest tubes... yes all three, the ventilator (for the 2nd time), EEG leads off his head, one or two IV's, Oxygen canulas, and the packing in the old HeartWare site. Only one small set back. After the vent was taken out, and the waiting period was over, he drank too much fluid and threw up. Not a big deal, that just set him back on when he could drink again, which set him back from going on his first walk. Again, not a big deal, we are just excited to get him up and walking. Honestly, I think if we had the right nurse, she could have gotten things arranged, but maybe tomorrow.
They have kept his blood pressure under control and he seems to be feeling soooo much better. No head pain, and definitely no seizures.
I took the kids to church today and really enjoyed getting out and interacting with other members. Stacy stayed here with Gage Aurelius.
Stacy and I are gearing up for getting back into school. With one of us here and the other running kids around, we should be able to get into a good routine. We are thinking I might be able to get home for tax season if Gage continues to improve. But if I need to be here, that is perfectly fine. Either way, it will all work out.
Sorry there was no drama to report. We had enough of that last night.
Later,
Jason
Gage's teacher, Mary Blazinsky came by for a visit. They put together a cute little video for his class mates. You can tell he is feeling better.
Stacy left with the kids, so Gage and I could play around....
...or maybe just watch a movie together.

Looking good! You must be relieved. Good luck this week and I hope that things keep going in the right direction.
All my love
Gage is looking so great! I'm so happy today went better for him. And what a great teacher he has to visit him in the hospital. Keep it up Gage! You're doing great.
Love seeing the smile on Gage's face. Great way to end the evening.
I am so surprised how different he looks. Sitting up and smiling. What a change. Blessings
Wonderful progress today! Love to see the smiles! God Bless you All!
No drama is such good news...a few more steps forward! Keep up the good work Gage!
Thanks for the update bro! I'm okay with not a lot of drama to report. That was...is scary stuff. One day at a time. Love you all!
If you could see my smile right now!! From ear to ear!! Love the pictures, the Man of Steel looks SO good!! No drama is a wonderful thing!! Tell Gage he's still my hero, looking forward to him cutting your hair, Dad!! Prayers and good vibes from High Valley!!
Looking good bro. What a great update and like most things in life, "No Drama" is a good thing. Something about those last two pictures remind me of Mike's girlfriend (I think) on Monsters, Inc. Whether you are rocking the Fabio look, lion's mane, or braids, I think the hair gives you more options and you better keep it till after the reunion......
He is looking much better tonight. He has had enough drama for a while (forever, I hope).
So glad to hear he is doing better. Continued prayers groom all of us.

Gage Aurelius, you truly are a Man of Steel! High fives, hugs, many smiles, and prayers going your way.
Great news for the entire Bingham family but wonderful for Gage and what a trooper he is. Jason I see resemblance to my Dad as I always have in your Dad, Dale. Love from the Hall Family and continued prayers your way !!!
God is great ! Gage is amazing !! Continue to send prayers for all ! ☀️☀️☀️
Such wonderful news! So happy to see Gage smiling!
So glad Gage is doing better!!! Such a trooper!!! Jason, I think you need to convince Robert to have his hair done like that. His hat might fit better then when he is out in the wind trying to fertilize!! :) Prayers to you all!
I prefer the no-drama blogs! I've been praying for Gage and your family. So happy to see him improving and everyone smiling. Continued prayers. ❤️

So relieved to hear Gage is doing better. I know all too well what a relief it is to have the ventilator out. I also can sympathize with the pain of every little cough or movement. I just finished reading your past blogs and have felt teary eyed for the last several days. Your family is such a testimony to Gods grace. God is good.
