Well .... we're still not home. They did blood tests and CT scans today to try and find out why Steve's white blood cell count is off, and we haven't heard the results yet, but should hear at their 6:00 am rounds tomorrow morning. All signs point to that we will be able to go home tomorrow. My best guess is that If they had found any signs of infection or anything they would have started him on antibiotics already. It's actually been a good thing for Steve to have this extra time here. The progress I can see almost hour by hour is amazing. In between the frequent naps he's sitting up, walking, and chatting up a storm ~ always a good sign :-)
This pain medicine is working great for him (Norco ~ for our medical friends.) Vicodin didn't control the pain and made him sick, but he feels fine on this one and, though it hurts of course, that horrible pain is under control.
The other thing that is going on this weekend is that Brian, Jenna and the girls are here, just for the weekend for a good friend's wedding. We've been very sorry to not see them so far, but we all know it couldn't be helped. We'll spend the day with them tomorrow, either here in San Diego or at home, and we're SO looking forward to that. Knowing they'll be moving to SoCal makes it easier to miss them this time.
ok, well, we'll keep you posted tomorrow!
