These are they days of our lives...

Josh is ready to be moved out of ICU but we are still waiting for a bed/room on another floor. Last night he was taken off of the monitors. Still on O2 but that's it. This morning one of the lines was taken out of his neck and 2 of the drains were removed from his incision site. He had 4 drains on his back at the site. I haven't seen the incision itself but the bandage goes from about the top of his shoulder line all the way down to his tailbone. Pretty cool if you ask me :) Yesterday PT and OT came in and made Josh sit up on the side of the bed. He did really great! A little bit dizzy and his strength wasn't that great of course...to be expected. He is using the morphine less and less so I hope that means that with the Tylenol and the Neurontin his pain is getting under control. We are moving right along and God is carrying us through. Thanks for all of the thoughts, prayers and encouragement!
