Getting out of ICU TODAY!!!!!!
What a change over the last two days for Pam. The fluids coming off the body and out of the right lung have really made a difference. I went home Monday at noon and she was breathing well with oxygen and fairly calm and doing well. When I came back last night she was more alert, talking in whispers, eating pudding and ice cream and looking way better.
When I arrived this morning she had no oxygen help at all! She is looking good and the team is really pleased with her progress. They have no medical reason to keep her in ICU and have started the process of getting her transferred back to HSCU (downstairs where transplant patients are).
She is looking and doing much better. She is for very good reason SCARED. She is starting to realize a bit more about her situation over that last month as she is comprehending more now with sedatives off. She is understanding that her body is really weak and scared about that. I think she is scared that this issue could all happen again. We will obviously have to work through all these issues as they are real and the reality is that she is going to be at risk for complications forever.
But today we are not thinking about that, we are celebrating leaving ICU after 32 days.
I will keep you posted on the transition after if happens.
