Chris did not sleep real well last night-his body system are all coming to life and kept him "going" all evening. A PICC line was put in his right arm around 8pm-the neck lines came out after that. He is eating just a little of his meals, but not enough to satisfy the nurses, so his fluids are being restricted until he starts getting calories from the solid food-he would eat sherbet and frozen yogurt all day given the chance, but they are considered liquids. The oxygen mask is gone and he is on just the nasal cannula for oxygen-much easier on him. PT will come sometime this morning. He has already had the echo cardiogram (don't know results). There is some discussion about putting an ICD/Pacemaker back in. It would not be as involved as the last one, more like how pacemakers are put in most people. Dr. Puga wants him to work on recovery so the won't even consider implanting the device until early next week. Chris's voice is stronger, and he is getting a little bit cranky (!!!) Each day brings improvements, small thought the be, we are thankful for them nonetheless. Have a good day-we plan on it. Mary Jo
