I went to church this morning. It's amazing how it feels like home to attend church no matter where you are! It is the 3rd time since the transplant and I'm already learning people's names in Coronation Park ward in Edmonton.
Scott had a great day! I CAN see progress. Even if it is just sitting up longer, less shaking/tremors, and more overall strength. We spoke to the doctor today and he is optimistic that Scott can be moved out of the ICU in the next few days. I sure hope so!!! The only thing Scott gets through an IV now is water for fluids. No meds. He does get a whackload of meds through his feeding tube though. Eventually he'll have to swallow them all.
We had a chance to go to the computers at the hospital. I wanted to show Scott so many things but he only wanted to look up ''homemade rootbeer'' and ''drink mixes''. He is still a little fixated on drinks but they are allowing him to have 6 small thickened drinks a day. They are the high points of the day for sure!! He thinks he is ready for Super Big Gulps. I don't think his kidneys would handle that and he has been getting insulin for high blood sugar. That might or might not go away. The trauma he has had and the prednisone he takes to prevent rejection can elevate blood sugars. I hope that gets better too. Fortunately those are managable problems for the time being.
