We were told this morning that Ron was moving to Progressive Care (step-down unit)sometime this afternoon. But, when ICU nurse went to give report to PCU nurse and check to make sure they had everything to handle him; it turns out even though he is no longer critically ill, he is too complex for a step-down unit. Until they can get rid of some of the tubes, or at least get them off of wall suction, he will remain in ICU.
He is scheduled to go back to Interventional Radiology on Thursday so it looks like there will be no changes before then. When Dr. Shires was in this morning he was telling us that he just discharged a patient who had severe pancreatitis who had been here 5 months...not sure if he was trying to encourage us or what! He continues to be pleased with Ron's progress though and it's good to know Ron's illness is one he treats on a regular basis.
Don't know anything else to report. Hope you have a good weekend!
Love,
Christie, Ron, Ryan, Aaron & Kristin
