One foot out the door !!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are out of ICU !!!!! Now in the step down unit.... not as bad as last time I remember being here .. 4 doors down from a friend too. The up side is we have our own private bathroom/shower and I can eat in the room and talk on the phone. Only downside .. I cant leave him ... so I cant do all my walking right now. He has had a few little bites of food but mostly just water is what he wants. He walked down to play room... swayed a lot and they have a train table and lots of Thomas stuff.... but he had no strength left to play. They said the fluid buildup disappeared overnight. His numbers are all good .. he got the last chest tube out .. and his pic line ... he is down to one IV which is required for heart patients to keep in while here. Was told he will not go home tomorrow .. will be switching to oral meds tomorrow .. so earliest would be Friday.... cross our fingers ... Momma ready to go home !!!

  1. That's a good sign that he has a little bit of an appetite and eats small portions of food. Glad to hear your out of ICU and in a regular room.
