Saturday November 7
Today was a fairly good day. Drew's oxygen is down to 1.5 L, and he had it off for a bit, he walked down the hall, his pain meds are reduced, and he got his pee tube taken out. Plus, he had lots of visitors to keep him company (Mandy, Robyn, Nicki, Grandma Wolsey and Brett Barfuss). His sisters were nice enough to take me to the mall for a bit of a break, and I am home for the night to get my car and to see my boys for a few hours. Drew is starting to get better, but he is frustrated that it is such a slow process, and that the nurses on his floor aren't quite as wonderful as the ICU nurses. The doctors are saying that he might be able to come home (home and not back to the Lethbridge Hospital) in a week, and off isolation on Monday. I can't wait.

ReplyDeleteGreat news Marty. When we look back at Drew's Blog of July we cannot believe what has happened to that healthy guy this month. What determination he has to fight back. The next test for him and the family will be patience. We have been praying for you all and will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Much love, John and Margaret Anderson.
