night night..

Richie's 8 PM visit was extremely positive. He was joking around, getting back to the guy we know and love. He is now working on breathing treatments to make sure his lungs remain clear. We are hoping that tomorrow brings him getting out of bed for the first time in seven / eight days. His biggest complaint is that he is thirsty, but he is on limited liquid intake. His liquid inputs and outputs are being carefully monitored. Of course he had some good questions for the nurse (April) "Am I going to get mechanical heartburn?" If he is good tomorrow, he might be moved into a cubical where he will be able to get more rest. Of course this is still in the SICU unit.. Good night to all....
