Day 6/7 - Movin' on up!

Well, as stated in our last update, this update is being made from our new room on the step-down floor (CICC)!

We got moved up here around midnight. Ethan was already asleep & was not too happy to have to wake up for vitals & his midnight dose of meds. But he's so tired that he fell back asleep before his nurse even left the room.

Not much will change in terms of recovery/care/daily goals while being up here but it's nice to not be monitored quite as frequently. The main purpose of being here is for me & Dan to take over most of his care - eating, diaper changes, learn his med doses & frequencies so we will be ready to do it completely on our own once we get discharged.

Ethan had a good rest of the day today - he sat up for the majority of the day, ate a big lunch & dinner, & took a total of 5 walks. The last walk upset him the most - so much so that his o2 says dropped so they put him back on 1L oxygen for a couple hours. He's now down to. 5L & has been there for a couple hours so overnight they'll try to wean him off it completely.

Well it's late & I'm exhausted - have been up 18hrs so it's time to sleep while Ethan's asleep. Goodnight all & thanks for your prayers - please keep them coming!
