On The Floor

I have had a bit of a rough evening so I apologize for being "short."

Katie was moved out of the ICU yesterday (Monday) late afternoon, she is in a regular floor bed and a very nice room it is too. It's one of the recently remodeled rooms on the floor.

She is still doing very well and the current plan is to look at tomorrow(Wednesday 11/19)'s labs and as long as they are where Dr. M would like them to be then she will release her to come home. We will have to go right back down there on Thursday for labs but after that we wouldn't have to go back until Monday.

I know lots of you have been waiting to be able to visit. At this point I'm thinking we should wait until she gets home since that will hopefully be tomorrow. So anyone who wants to visit please give us a call as soon as tomorrow afternoon and we will let you know who plans to come when and find a time in our schedule for you to come by. I hope you can understand me being a little controlling about visiting. Please remember that Katie is on medications to suppress her immune system so it is important that we keep her from as many germs as possible. Her dosages of these drugs will be able to be decreased over time but she will always and forever now be on drugs to suppress her immune system. If you or a family member have a cold or flu or any other contagious virus, please wait and come see us when everyone is well.
