Just a short summary.
We're still very relieved and very happy to have that tube out. Still riding the wave of that joy.
Gabe is out of ICU and has a very nice room with an XBOX! He's smiling but having trouble sitting up, standing up - it'll take a few days before he can do that on his own - and probably a few weeks before he's feeling normal again. I believe that there are some physical therapists working with him.
He's eating real food, which is a slow process as well. He'll need to prove that he can eat before he can leave.
The pneumonia is still in there but the good news is that his cough is good, the airway is good and the oxygen levels are good. So the doctors, including the ENT are giving him a green light to get outa there very soon - most likely tomorrow!
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers - looks like the scary parts are done. Now it's home to get well with mom and Grammy Lou - rest assured they'll make sure that happens.

ReplyDeleteHi Gabe,
ReplyDeleteYour Tiger Cub Scout pal says a special "Hail Mary" every night for your speedy recovery. It's great to see you eating a popcicle. Can't wait to hear that you've made it home, and bette yet to see you back at St. John's. I think all of the extra special prayers have helped.
Love, Jacob Bechtel
Gabe - you did it, you are looking great and it is so nice to know that you will be heading home soon. See you when you get back! Marianne
