The Day After
Posted on August 15th, 2008 by MaryBeth
Merle is awake and cogent this morning. The ventilator tube is out now, so he can talk, but he is still VERY sore and tired. The nurses said at some point today he has to get up and sit in a chair. (Sounds painful!) He may be spared walking laps until tomorrow, however. He is currently still on the ICU but will likely be moved to a regular floor sometime today. WE are hoping he will get into the Marburg wing. (Think fancy schamnzy 5 star hotel room with nursing services included.) Most patients cannot get a room in there, but apparently Merle gets special treatment because Dr. Cameron is his surgeon.
I’ll post more news as it comes.
