Today was moving day - from ICU over to critical care. The doctor came in this morning and took out his chest tubes (if you don't know, don't ask..) and removed other assorted bionic looking things (again, don't ask...). When he walked in, I was summarily dismissed - that haughty looking "god-complex" wave that only a heart surgeon can give. Like I really wanted to be there watching!! Ha! I showed him, I was halfway out the door and only saw half of the wave.
They also removed him from the other machines that monitored his progress when he moved, and by the afternoon, we were strolling around the nurse's station. A slow, Sunday-like stroll, but he was happy cause it was the first time he had walked more than a step over to a chair since Monday morning. We played a few rounds of cards as well, the winner had to take a shot of water cause there is no tequila on the ward.
They will probably discharge RJ from the hospital Friday morning, or maybe as early as tomorrow, but won't know for sure till I get there. He is all settled in with his personal DVD player and some old movies at hand, waiting for his amazing dinner of baked skinless chicken breast or something similar. ;-)
Am spending the evening home with the boys, since I haven't seen them much since Sunday. Tomorrow night is the orientation at the jr. high school for Kevin, and I have to take him to that, so tonite's it. I might even ask about the school projects they all are working on - open house is in a couple weeks, so this is project week. This year is a mission, a science project about ice cubes, and a report on alligators. Boy, what fun.
