Mom was moved into her own room yesterday a little before noon. I know she is so glad! She has been up sitting in a chair some today and has started to eat a little more at each meal. She said she still feels weak, but isn't really in any pain. She hasn't had any pain medicine in a couple of days. I can't imagine! Having your chest ripped open and no pain meds? Her oxygen levels have been good. Her kidney functions are good. She is still a little "confused" but not as bad as yesterday. Bless her heart! She would just talk about random stories, people, ask random questions, etc. I think the pain meds were making her have bad dreams too. She would wake up asking questions about her dreams. The nurse had a name for it. Basically caused from being in ICU so long and not getting enough sleep the last couple of nights in there. She said a few nights of good sleep (yeah right, do you ever get good sleep in a hospital?) and it should improve!
The doctors have talked about her moving into a rehab facility sometime soon. We have heard for possibly two weeks, but still are not real sure about details. I guess it just depends on how Mom does! Knowing her, she will be up and going in no time! We are anxious to have her home and I know she is ready to be home!
We are so thankful for her continued progress!
