Michael got one of his chest tubes removed!  They did an echocardiogram and were very happy with the results.  The technician told Michael that he was the best patient, to which Michael responded, "Thanks.  Thanks."

His right lung is still collapsed and he mistakenly went longer than he should have without pain medication, but otherwise, he is doing great.

What a trooper!

Here are some pictures from his art and crafts and playtime:
