New Room- TICU- AKA- "Hotel"

Wow...what a difference a day makes! Got to the hospital today at 4:00pm and dad was not in his bed! He was sitting in a chair NEXT to his bed. They were very careful to move him but the doctors are amazed at his progress! Cultures came back negative again so we are ok for now in terms of infections. Dr. Cannada is dad's orthopedic surgeon and she is very positive. He will have a surgery on Friday and on Monday. They will put pins in his knee and spacers in his leg where the bone is missing. Then six weeks from then he will start the rebuilding of the leg and putting the plastics in. Good news is, he will be able to go home in between. All the staff her calls the TICU the hotel because you have a couch that folds out to a bed, chair, bathroom, desk, and dvd player. Best of all, it has room service with REGULAR food! It is very nice! St. John's has been amazing through all of this. Keep praying that infections stay out. I will update when mom gets here about gma. Mom is at St. Anthony's right now so we will know more soon.
