Zayne is slowly getting more mobile each day. Today was her first walk with 4 people escorting her. All of her IV medications are out, but she still has the two chest drain tubes (both are still painful). She is eating a little, but doesn’t always feel well and needs to get used to eating after a week of no food. Once her drains are out, she will be in less pain and able to move around a lot better.
I was wearing my hospital slippers and my foot felt wet – for the first time in many years, I had pee on me that soaked through my slipper and sock (due to a little commode mishap). I’ll be doing laundry tomorrow.
There is a chance that drain tubes (at least one) may be removed along with the pacemaker wires. The newer right drain is still producing, so we’ll see if it can be removed. Zayne gets an X-ray every day between 4:30 to 5:00 am. I’m sleeping when this happens, so I am not protected. In addition to the X-ray, there will be more bloodwork. If the tubes do get removed, we will probably move from the CICU to the CPCU on the 9th floor. The digs are a little more comfortable, and I look forward to have a private bathroom with shower.

Yes, she is making huge progress.
