Thursday November 12

We had lots of good things happen again today. Drew got his final chest tube out (YAY), and he got his IV pole taken away. It is a lot easier to go for walks without having to unplug a million things and not have to lug around a that ridiculous pole. They also started giving his antibiotics and pain meds orally. So that means we are a few steps closer to going home. At lunch time, Drew was so sick of being in his room and eating hospital food that he had ate take-out in the cafeteria. He also is eating my dinner left-overs. The crap part of our day was that he got moved to the over-flow room. They said he isn't sick enough to be in a real room. That last bit is good, but the over-flow room is incredibly crappy. Hopefully, it is just for a day or two.
