Yesterday brought good news. Around noon the Dr decided she was well enough to move out of the ICU!! Nothing happened all day though because there wasn't a room to move her to. Around 8 PM a nurse came in to say they finally had a room but they didn't actually move her until 10, into a shared room with a curtain separating the two beds. It was close to 11 by the time she was settled in. One step closer to going home.
Several days ago we were told when she made it to this "step down" room she'd be here for a week but we've since gotten indications it could be less. We hope so, she really wants out of here and to get home where she can relax and recover.
She had a hard time sleeping last night and texted me around 6 AM. When I arrived she was more comfortable than she had been all night and was just drifting off when the nurse came in, "wake up", to give her meds, take blood pressure, etc. That done she again started to doze, but wait, time for breakfast! Looks delicious. Falling asleep eating :-), poor kid. More later.
