Recovery Day 10...

brings a wow! Are we truly 1o days out from the transplant now? It has gone fast, yet excruciatingly slow. It is one of those times where as you are going through something, it drags on and on, but then later it seems like it flew on by.

Ian took a good long walk today in the PICU halls. It was nice to have him walking next to me holding my hand. He seemed to like being up and about. We're going to try again tomorrow. More and more of his normal personality is coming out. He gets tired pretty quickly, but who doesn't after a major surgery?

The doctors told us today that he may be able to leave PICU tomorrow. I'm still just hoping for Monday, but tomorrow would be nice. They also again reiterated that his overall stay in the hospital is likely to be on the shorter side. That would be nice, but again, we are refusing to count our chickens before they hatch.

We let Elaine's parents come in to see Ian, which he seemed to enjoy. I think the next time they see him will be when he moves to the next floor, though. It was a lot of juggling to get everyone in and out, and for the few minutes, I'm just not sure it was worth all the effort.

We very much appreciate the prayers and support we have from everywhere. It is uplifting every time we see a comment on one of our blogs or on Facebook. We certainly appreciate it, and we also appreciate that everyone seems to understand that we just cannot possibly respond to everyone.
