5-6-10---Robin is Out of ICU – Recovery Continues

I’ll try to keep it short.

I am happy (actually – overjoyed) to say that Robin is finally out of ICU! The care was great, but it was so frustrating and disrupting to see her for an hour, just four times a day, spread throughout the day. Travelling back and forth and trying to be productive for the short periods between – It was just plain tough. Several of our “Angels” helped to bridge the gaps and get me through this.

Once Robin got settled in her new room (524 – 1, by the way), she got to eat real food for the first time in a week. Her appetite was pretty good, considering all she has been through. Also (and most importantly), she received Physical Therapy (PT) today. During the PT (A.K.A., “pain and torture”), Robin sat up on the side of the bed for a while. She didn’t want to try to stand at first, but I reminded her that release from the hospital was dependent upon her ability to stand and transfer to and from her chair. All of a sudden, she wanted to try standing, and was actually able to stand up for a few seconds (twice, with assistance)!!!

I will try to send another message tomorrow. In the meantime, no news is good news!

Don’t stop now! Please continue keep Robin in your thoughts and prayers. It is really working!
