John is out of ICU! He's in a regular hospital room He has no meal restrictions. Can you believe that? We figured he'd be eating liquid jello stuff for awhile. He had pancakes this morning and scrambled eggs and broth this evening. He's still on oxygen. He gets tired fast. Even talking wears on him. He is still hoarse. He's still seeing colors when he closes his eyes. The nurse told me the sedative should have worn off by now. So, for all my Reiki buddies out there, you might want to turn it down just a bit. One of the Reiki ladies had come in but John was really sensitive to her energy so he just declined her offer.
He's starting to realize what has happened to him which has been really scary. We've had 2 friends lose their mothers within 1 week. But John is still here. It really gets him in his heart if you know what I mean. It's got to me too.
Physical therapy has had him in and out of a chair a couple of times today. So tonight he was watching "American Idol". He has one more day of the antibiotic.
Baby steps,
Blin
