Today was a super busy day, but a good one. In the morning they did a CT Scan and it looked good, so they decided to take the surgery drain out. They gave James some "happy" medicine for the procedure so he wouldn't remember anything about it. The removal went smooth and James had no issues. He was up and happy about two hours after the procedure. During the recovery we had a visit from the State Police and they brought a gift for James to enjoy once he woke up.
Once he was fully recovered from the procedure medication the staff from physical therapy and occupational therapy came to do an assessment on James to make sure there were no deficits after surgery. They brought him for a walk down the hall and then to the stairs to see how he would do. There were no issues, so much so that he had the girls chasing him up the stairs after him! So we were able to check that right off the list!
Since James was doing so well they downgraded his status from critical and put in the transfer order to move him upstairs to a regular room. The move went well and once we were settled in we hit his favorite place...the playroom! We played for a while until Al and Nate came, then we played some more! Al spent the night so I could head home. We had to all leave James for a little to switch around cars and while we were gone James fell asleep waiting for Al to come back. Today went really well and they've discussed several times sending him home tomorrow. We'd love that. What a fast turnaround!
More tomorrow. xoxo
