Arriving at 10:30 am as per our instructions, we entered the ICU to find Barb alert and practically ready to transfer to a step down room. By about 12:30, the transport team wheeled Barb's bed around the 6th floor - from the ICU portion to the step-down unit. When wew got there, they transferred Barb from the ICU bed to the step down bed and the nurse got her all hooked back up. Dan stopped by at 1:45 on his way to work. Colleen, Mary, Clare and Bernadette came to visit at 3:30.
You can really tell when the pain meds begin to wear off...and when they begin to work. Barb got some rest after the first group of kids left and when dinner arrived she ate significantly more food than lunch. Good girl!!
Jen, Anna, Pete and John came at about 8:00 for round 2. John was a little restless probably because he spent the last 2 nights at his best buddy (and Godbrother), Paul's house.
All the kids got to see the rooftop pavilion with its spectacular views of downtown. - Gil
