She did it! I never thought we’d be so happy to go to a “regular” hospital room. JoDee continues to amaze the doctors, nurses and everyone else in the ICU with her strong spirit and determination. We have been very impressed with the caliber of doctors and nurses, they have all been great.
After the CAT scan (this is her third), her walk, and a good nap we were able to be transferred over to the “surgical patient rooms”, just down the hall from ICU. Upon arriving in our new room, we got settled for about five minutes and then headed down to x-ray to get some pictures of JoDee’s shoulder. She has been complaining a lot about some pain in her left shoulder and the doctors wanted to ensure they haven’t missed an injury. By the time we got back to her room around 4:30pm JoDee was quite pale and completely exhausted.
It is much quieter in our new room, and we don’t have a bunch of monitors and alarms beeping and flashing at all hours, so that is nice. We’ll see how JoDee continues to progress and how she feels about having visitors. I’m sure when she’s ready it would lift her spirits, so we’ll keep everyone posted. She still has a long road to full recovery ahead, and every little bit helps.
As I’ve said before, let’s hope tomorrow is as good as today, if not better.
