Progress

I love being home! It is really nice to have my own space again and do normal things like laundry. Yes, laundry. I'm sure that feeling won't last long! Even though I'm now spending my time being a mom and taking care of my kids(and getting a pedicure and manicure thanks to Barb)I do manage to keep in touch with the hospital. I spoke with the intensivist(ICU doctor), Scott's nurse, another specialist and Scott's mom. It seems like Scott had a good day. He is sleeping somewhat better and was able to get into a wheelchair and get out of the room for awhile. He had the trach removed today and was waiting on getting 2 chest tubes removed! Big news! His kidneys are also starting to kick in too!! These are all big steps in getting out of the ICU. If he keeps going at this rate he'll be out in a few days. If he passes a swallowing test in the next few days he'll also be allowed to drink and eat. It's easier to recognize the progress when I'm not watching it minute by minute. I know all of the prayers that are continually offered on our behalf keep making a difference. Thank-you!
