Monday Night Good News Update

Blaine and I just got back from the hospital and Gary is doing GREAT:) finally good news. He was even up walking today. He was pushing a wheel chair and had a nurse and a PT walking on either side of him and the PT asked him where are you going? he said I don't know wherever. They told him that he had gone further than they usually take patients on their first walk. He is completely off of all IV medications and is not on any pain meds. The nurses keep asking him and he said that he isn't in any pain. They are ready to move him out of ICU the only thing is that their are no beds available yet. So one more day in ICU hopefully. We are still asking for NO visitors yet this is his request he is just not up to it yet. He has his appetite back and is eating good and he has lost about 30 pounds. I guess that is what happens when you don't eat for 8 days not the diet we recommend.
So all in all it has been a good day and he is feeling better than yesterday and that is all that we can ask for.
