Maybe Moving?

We got to back to see Dan, and he looks great. He's bargaining for tubes to get taken out of random places, talking to nurses, and pretty alert. He absolutely hates the ICU because of the noise and the busyness. He was told this morning that he will be transferred out to a med/surg unit today.

His surgeon just met with him, took out his NG tube and says he looks good. McGreeky is still unsure about moving him from the ICU because a few labs are "marginally high". We're frustrated because Dan was told one thing, looks great and now, might have to spend another day in the ICU. He needs to sleep, and let's face it, that doesn't happen on the Unit. Apparently, we have to wait for labs this afternoon to re-evaluate his transfer.

It would be such a bummer, especially for Dan.

Praise the Lord he looks so much better (to us)!

Prayer Requests:
* Dan's transfer to a med/surg unit TODAY
* Labs begin to come down and normalize
* No complications or infections (the doc is most worried about infection)
* Quick recovery
* Compassionate AND flexible doctors and nurses
