We just talked to Anita, NP, and she said we are being discharged today afterall!!! Dan and I had taken a walk around the floor, and he said it felt so good to be up on his feet, he wanted to walk some more. So we went downstairs and walked around the hospital cafe, the gift shop, the lobby, bought a drink and sat down for a while, and when we came back, Anita was waiting on us with DC papers!! Yes!! She said they are decreasing his TPN to 50% for an hour. Then they will cut it off completely for an hour. Then check his blood sugar, wait about 30 mins for results and orders, and if it's in a healthy range, we're out of here!
I saw the Tesnear family a while ago. No changes in her condition. Her daughter is here now, and she's holding up wonderfully. Such a strong, sweet family. They are still in Neuro ICU.
I also talked to the Tracy family. He's having a rough time, but the doc said he'd be okay eventually. They are still in CCU.
Maybe the next post will be from 111 Country Place Dr!!
Love,
Trudy
I am soooo excited that you guys are getting to go home. Tell Dan I will keep him in my prayers and you as well :)
