Not much sleep last night, so Larry's pretty tired this morning. Tube count remains the same. He may lose one of the chest drains tomorrow and may lose the oxygen later today, but I think Monday will be the big day for tube removal. That's the day the most annoying tube comes out - the NG tube that is in his nose.
Still some fluid in the lungs - so aggressive respiratory therapy continues. Pain seems to be well managed - I'm getting pretty good at giving meds through the feeding tube.
The best news - Larry needed less help getting up for a walk and once he got out in the hall he moved with more speed and confidence. He made a full lap around the floor. GREAT JOB LARRY!!!! Goal is five more good walks today.
Larry's family is coming to visit today and my parents are coming with Stephen and Mike tomorrow.
Looks like we're in for a good day!

Pat and Larry,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear today is a good day. Keep up the good work Larry! When you're home in your own chair and bed you can remember how all of this hard work got you back there. Lots of love, The Mishoe's
I hope that you keep up the good progress. Don't worry about a couple small set-backs now and then, that's bound to happen. Overall, it sounds like things are going very well. Hope to be able to see you soon. Getting to watch any NCAA tournament games?
