102 #1
What a day! Yes, Linda has moved to the surgical oncology (unit 102) ward. She's in a high observation ward for a couple of days - 2 nurses for 4 patients, then will go to her very own room. The blue dye didn't show up anywhere so there's no leaks in there - good!! Still experiencing some nausea but they're wondering if it could have to do with some small pockets of fluid in the abdomen so they drained them today - and we'll wait and see. The really exciting thing that happened today was they changed her trach to a one that can be capped so she is TALKING!!!!! Sometimes a bit garbled but what a treat to have a real conversation and hear her voice. We called Lucille and all three of us had a good cry on the phone - we were so happy and excited. It was weirdly sad to leave ICU - kind of felt like we were leaving home.

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing you and Linda sssssssoooonnn.

Sorry for the spelling errors but I guess it was too early as I couldn't sleep and didn't have my glasses on and was sitting in the dark. Again, every day seems to just keep getting better and that is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled to hear the good news! The blessings continue!
