We just left Pat after the latest visit. She is still in ICU only because there are no rooms in Intermediate Care available. Her oxygen level is improving with treatments. She is tired today after having Benadryl to sleep last night. She is going to rest well tonight, I feel certain.
The nursing staff has been absolutely amazing. We have been so bless to have so many great and knowledgeable people to work with mom. She and dad are so grateful for the care and compassion that they have shown Pat. Many of her past nurses have stopped by even though they are not assigned to her just to check on her. Pat is such an amazing woman, making her caregivers feel so appreciated and loved.
The ICU is not nearly as busy as it has been in days past, so it is much quieter. Please continue to pray for Pat's healing and that another room becomes available at some point soon. By moving to another room, visitation will be more lenient. This will be a longer road to recovery than her previous surgery, given the seriousness of it.
Please pray for dad as well. As expected, he is tired. I think the week is catching up with him, but he still feels the need to be with Pat at every moment he can. He is still keeping visitation to 20 minutes so that mom doesn't get tired.
This will be the final post of the day unless something changes.
