Thursday, day 19, 11.30pm
Sams lungs don't appear to be any better from yesterday. A bit of a relapse over the last couple of days hence the vibrating chest thumper that is supposed to loosen up mucus, the mask he's wearing is a dose of a mucolitic to liquify the mucous. He get this treatment every 4 hrs for 10 mins. Apart from this he has no other treatment except the antibiotics. As of today Sam is no longer hooked to the monitors so he is free to move about. (when he's not hooked up to the vibrator of course)We went down to the cafeteria for dinner and hung out for a while. He can walk easily unaided but does tire easily. By tired, I mean he's ready to return to his computer games not sleep. Sam has been downgraded yet again from icu recovery to general pediatric and has just now been moved out of icu to the penthouse suite ....room 5709 for those of you who wish to visit. He has today also recieved a beautiful get well banner from his school spanish class...thanks Elise, you are the best.
