Day 23; to Cath. or not to Cath, that is the question

We are still unsure if Hayden is having a catheterization on Wednesday. As of yesterday, there was no real plan. No one is sold in either direction. We are in a holding pattern. We will know some time today- ish. We will have to know by midnight, because he will need to stop eating and drinking.
Yesteday was more of the same. We worked with PT,took a few steps, sat in a chair, ate, watched movies, listened to music and chatted. Hayden really wants to come home and gets sad, occassionally. He really misses Isabella and we are writing her a letter today. ( He says she is his best friend...temptress) He and Rob may skype her when his voice gets stronger. Other than that, he is an amazing patient. He really liked spending time with Julie, his nurse last night.
His chest is getting itchy as it re-heals, so we are taking turns rubbing it ;-)
We are still on ICU meds. No plan to restart his blood thinner for several weeks.

Hi! I am happy to hear that Hayden is doing well and that he finally pooped! Being backed up is definitely no fun. Hang in there. My thoughts are with you guys,

Slow and steady progress is good! Praying this continues and that y'all get to go home soon. Still thinking of y'all everyday.
