We Walk
If you look into the distance of this photo, the little Spire poking out over the trees is Rapunzel's Tower...according to Lilly. Lilly is the expert on Rapunzel, her tower, and the Disney movie Tangled! Everytime they come to the hospital she looks for it out the window of the elevator lobby.
So I talked with Mom a few times today. Dad was able to get up and walk twice today! They have to give him pain meds to make it comfortable enough for him to even move, then they make him walk.
Another great step is that he came off the Milronone! This is the drug he had been taking for the last four months via constant IV infusion. They decided his echocardiogram looked good enough to take him off of it. So now he is down to ONE IV!!! This is truly amazing seeing that a week and four days ago he had 5 banks of four IV's each! Everyday more and more stuff was coming off and today we are at only one line!
I couldn't make it in today because I had class and work. I also went to the Y for the first time in two weeks. It was great to see all my friends there, and felt good to be back.
The days keep passing by quickly and we are already taking midterms at Assumption!
Well sorry today there is not too much to report. I guess this is good and bad. I would like to report that things are progressing at lightning speed but I am afraid it is not the case. Remember slow and steady WINS the race. So we will continue down the path of slow and steady and keep hoping for the best.
I say it at the end of every blog but it's just so you all know how important all of your calls, prayers, well wishes, cards, gifts, food, books, support, rides, company, hospitality, and love mean to us. We truly have a strong support system that has carried us through thus far. Thank You all for everything.
