Moving On Up ---

Actually it's moving down the hall, but the location itself is everything. Dad's been so frustrated and the cabin fever driving him crazy. He so desperately wants to go outside or at least out of his little concrete room. Today he made his move. It wasn't outside nor was it a patio suite that mom envisioned, but it's a new room and with a fabulous view. They packed his bags (who am I kidding - he owns nothing in that room) and he vacated STICU Bed 1, and his new address is STICU Bed 7. Room 7 has not one but TWO windows that overlook Hermann Park and the room itself may even be slightly larger.

Dad spent some time sitting in the chair today, and that must have been exhausting because he got some good rest as well. Now that he's in Room 7 he can't wait to get a good look outside; so tomorrow we HAVE to get him over close to the windows. When mom commented on how great his new room was, he specifically said that he wanted to go over there. (referring to the windows)

Overall it was a good non-surgery day. Tomorrow he'll go back to the operating room for Surgery #42. Send prayers that all goes well and Dr. Duke might finally win the battle of the bowel.
