Hanging Out in ICU

Well . . .Dad is still "hanging out" in the ICU waiting on a bed to open up on the neurological post surgery floor. They took out his A-line and Central line today. He is still taking oxygen and on the monitor because his levels fall off while he is sleeping due to the pain medications. Mom is staying with him tonight. They said it is possible he could get moved to his new room over night.

Tomorrow he will begin working again to get his pain and nausea under control and on being able to stand on his own so he can go home.

  1. Hello, It is good to know that progress is being made for recovery. I just wanted to share my experience with Dave post surgery: he really wanted to get 'out' and I had to face a long drive back to Baraga from Detroit. He should have stayed in the hospital a day or two longer just because the bumps in the road and the movement of the car were taxing on his body. I know Dave's surgery was not the same but just something to keep in mind before you 'hit the road'. I hope all positive signs continue to lead you out the door when the
    time is right. The new Yooper relatives
