Things are looking up!

Praise God! Ron finally took a turn for the better yesterday evening. He's only had a couple of yakking episodes since around 6 yesterday evening. He's even been able to keep down a little apple juice. Still nauseous but better.

Blood pressure is s-l-o-w-l-y ooched up but still a little on the low side.

He looks exhausted and he is; still not been able to sleep. It's always a battle to get sleep in an ICU situation but now that the move has been made over to the new Hamon Tower, we're hopeful it will be a little more quiet.

Yes, we've made the BIG move. Ron was the inaugural patient in the Hamon 3ICU. The amount of extra nurses on hand is crazy! They send at least 3 nurses with each patient as they transport them with all their equipment (as well as emergency equipment, just in case). The trek from the 3rd floor of the main building, down to the lower level to take the Link and then back up to the 3rd floor of the Hamon Tower caused Ron to get a little nauseous, which led to his 2nd yakking episode...thankfully it occurred after he was in his room. It was so nice to be the first, even though that meant 7AM, we were able to get settled in quickly, instead of being on standby all day.

I've searched and searched but have yet to find our plaque...hmmm, may just have to make our own.

Haven't seen any docs as yet, but will report when I do!

Please continue to pray for rest!
