{Day 10}

Good news...Ben has shown remarkable improvement in the last 24 hours!! After 10 days in the ICU, they moved us to the PCU (Progressive Care Unit - the step-down unit just below the ICU) this afternoon. They think we will spend a couple of days here. They want to wean Ben to normal air (he is still on oxygen), make sure he starts nursing more and want his respiratory rate to decrease some more (it is in the 60s/70s). He still has some work to do, but Ben is definitely on the mend. 

 

We hope to be out by the weekend and get back to normal life. I can't wait to shower regularly, sleep in a bed (actually just sleep!) and pee in a non-public restroom. But mostly, I can't wait for all of us to be healthy and under one roof with Ben in my arms. 

Thank you all for the prayers!
