Out of the ICU

This is Brian with another update on Wendi. I'm happy to report that I was wrong about how much time she would need to spend in the ICU. She was transferred to the surgical recovery section this afternoon. She is still not completely coherent, but she is improving slowly. From a physical standpoint, she is doing quite well. She keeps trying to stand up and walk around without telling the nurses, so she has a CNA watching her most of the time. If she accidentally pulls any tubes, she could subject herself to additional surgery and extend her hospital stay. She has her cell phone in her room now, so feel free to call her. She also has a landline phone in her hospital room; send me or Wendi a private message on Facebook if you want the number. (I'll get the message either way, at least until she comes home.)

On Tuesday, she is scheduled to begin physical and occupational therapy. That makes sense, considering that she has been bedridden for almost a week. She is most likely not coming home until all the tubes are out; best guess, that will be towards the end of the week.
