And we're back on the 6th floor...

They sprung Daddy from ICU on Sunday night, and he's been doing fairly well since. He's down to 1 IV and the drain in his side to drain fluid from his lungs. He has been sitting up for several hours each day, and he took a couple of walks today. For the past 2 days, he has been eating 3 small meals a day with small snacks. Since they took out the PICC line, which was providing him with most of his nutrition, eating is extra important and he seems to be tolerating most foods well so far. He's been somewhat groggy/tired which is likely a combination of some of the pain meds he's taken to help with the pain from the drain in his side, and just being worn out from all that his body has been through. Overall, though, he's not loopy like he was -- he seems to be more himself and more focused on recovering. We are just taking it one day at a time and rejoicing in the small steps forward for now.
