Despite still being in ICU, Mike had a great day. He was cleared to walk with assistance from PT and boy did he walk. One person was by his side making sure he didn't do a face plant and another assistant was dragging the portable oxygen tank and wound vac behind him. He managed to do two laps around the ICU unit before they parked him in his chair for the remainder of the day.
He's been cleared to move into a regular room, but as of 6:15pm a room had not become available so, I'm guessing he will remain in ICU until tomorrow. Along with moving out of ICU we were told that the cast on his arm should come off in the next couple of days; the trach will be replaced tomorrow with one that would make it easier for him to talk; and there is a possibility that if he continues to improve at this rate he might come home Friday.
Keep your fingers crossed.....
Terry
