The uplifting part of the day was that Jason was encouraged by receiving emails and he was able to unhook his heart monitor and go off of the unit and walk outside for 30 minutes. It was the first time he had been in the fresh air and sun since Tuesday the 13th.
He decided he is not wearing the hospital gowns or pants anymore because he doesn't want to wear anything that associates him with being sick. So Diane went shopping to get some adjustable sandals, some pajamas and loungewear. One of the Nursing Assistants commented that he didn't look like a patient anymore but rather a visitor.
We are hoping and praying that tomorrow is the big day for the chest tube removal. If it happens before 6pm tomorrow we will be able to fly home Monday night but if not, we will have to wait 48 hours after removal to fly due to air pockets and altitude and other medical anomalies that could occur.
Jason misses Cole and wants to get out and home. We are trying to taking it one nursing shift at a time and trying to bribe anyone that comes into the room to take out the tube:)
Jason asked for rice krispy treats(his favorite), chicken, beef jerky, and apple juice. He is sick of the hospital food as well as the ensure. They don't care what he eats at this point as long as he eats.
Tracy will fly home with Spencer tomorrow and reunite him with my parents and Cole. Cole is ready for Spencer to be home since he says he "misses his baby."
Good Night to all. Thanks for all of the love and support.
