Day 5: Thursday
The doctor ordered a chest x-ray sitting straight up. So with this request he got to put his "turtle shell" on. This would be the first day that he even got to sit up. He tolerated it very very well and I was very proud of him!
There was also a lot of talk with this doctors since Roger was stable enough to be moved out of the ICU. It was finally determined that he would go to the Neurology unit. There was some talk about moving him straight to rehab but after talking to his insurance he only has 30 days of inpatient rehab per calendar year available. I was explaining to the doctors that it wouldn't make much sense to move him straight to rehab and waste days when he still had his chest tubes in and probably would not give 100%. They agreed! Good day!
