A bit of unexpected good news today. Steve was deemed to be well enough and stable enough to be transferred out of Feinberg's MICU back to Prentice. He received platelets today and had a follow-up appointment in Interventional Radiology to check his gallbladder drain.
It was WONDERFUL to be back in Prentice, even though MICU provided equally awesome care and saved his life. Prentice feels like home. Steve woke up after transport and said, "Let's go!" He is so out of it that he had no clue we had been on elevators, in the tunnel, etc. I told him to look out the window to see that we were, in fact, no longer in the ICU. His response was pretty funny. Perhaps you are familiar with the acronym WTF? He was sleeping soundly when we left, comfortable, and at peace.
This could be a long, slow recovery, and we will get through this next chapter.
