The Roller Coaster Continues.....

Hi All.

For all of you that haven't read the previous post by Lindsay please do.

Now for some better news.....

I sat with Walt this afternoon in the ICU for about an hour. He was sleeping all that time which was great. He needs plenty of that to get his strenght back. He was on the monitors so I could see that his oxygen levels were good. His pulse and heart rate were stable and his blood pressure was good and he was breathing on his own. The nurse said that his temperature was down. all very positive.

The staff think that he will be able to move out of ICU tomorrow to a normal ward, so it looks as if the rollercoaster is on the uphill. Thank goodness.

His nurse was happy to let me into the room this afternoon as long as I wore a mask so that is also a good sign. I will get the tablet tomorrow anyway just to be on the safe side.

I spoke to Patty and Lindsay this evening and they are exhausted after a long frustrating and scary day in Emergency yesterday. They have taken their tablets tonight. It all sounds like just a precaution to me so I am not going to let it prevent me from visiting the Waltmeister.

By the way, the staff at St Mary's gave Walt a moustache (maybe that is why he wanted to leave!) It is very grey, Not a good look Walt.

Love to All
