THE WAIT IS OVER...OUT OF ICU!

It was a long morning....but we finally made it out of ICU.....Ron is having dialysis right now. Since we are not in the ICU any longer...he has to be brought to the 6th floor for his dialysis treatments. Which is a nice change and gets him out of his room for a while. It seems to be going well...no clotting issues to report.

He is free of all his lines except for one IV line.

PT came by this morning and they stood him up and had him take some steps with the walker ...he walked a circle and back to his bed ...they were very impressed...I was ready to dance a jig!.....I just know each day is going to get better and we should be home very, very soon!

He is still battling with the nausea ...I can only hope this will start to subside. The only thing he can seem to tolerate is an oreo cookie milkshake. So ...I have made several trips to Jack-n-The-Box to get him one. Hey...if it stays down....I have to give him something.....His mom laughs and says some things never change...when he was a young boy and he was sick... a milkshake was the only thing that made him feel better....LOL.....
