Wednesday- Out of the ICU

This afternoon Slim was transferred from the ICU.

As they transferred him down to the step down unit they did a weight check on him.  He has lost 15 lbs of fluid over the last few days.  He is down to 2 liters of O2 vs the 3 liters yesterday.  This morning he was feeling shaky and tired.  By this afternoon he was starting to feel better.  Food still doesn't taste really good to him yet and he is still lacking much of an appetite.

Now that he is up more he is starting to get restless.  He can now have visitors.  We ask that if you come to visit please limit your visit to 15-20 minutes... again this is so that he doesn't get fatigued from too much visiting.  He will be up walking and doing rehab several times tomorrow and this is where he needs to focus his energy.
