Day 21; Let it flow, let yourself go

Poop has come! H pooped yesterday afternoon, in the evening and once in the early hours of this morning.YAY for poop!!!!!!
We had a nice, quiet day yesterday. Hayden got all 4 chest tubes removed. This enabled him to get out of bed and into a chair. He was quite happy in the chair and stayed there for 4 hours. He even took a nap in the chair. This mornibg we have a " date" to take at least 5 steps before getting in the chair to eat breakfast.( I'd like to nap in a chair, too)
He was much more like himself yesterday. He even told me he was done. I told him I was, too, but that we'd need to stay a while longer. ( I could prbably remove his IV's at home, but it seems like a bad idea)
Still tinkering with many meds., watching fluid,heart function etc.
Looking for more quiet time today.

His lab schedule was switched to noon. So, no white blood cell count update at this time.

Hope you all got to enjoy the gorgeous weather. It looked lovely.

Off to my boy :-)
