We got to move out of the PICU today. Another step in the right direction. It looks like things are progressing well. As soon as he got untethered from monitors he was ready to run around. He has gone for walks inside and out, came to lunch with Cari and I and ate french fries, and enjoyed going for a wagon ride around the hospital.
We are now on the third floor room 3017.
Ben is now exploring the pull out couch, has watched a couple of cartoons and decided the spoon was too much of a nuisance so he ate applesauce with his hands. Cari just changed his diaper and Ben was trying to jump down and run away -- his favorite game at home.
We have been really worried that he would not come back with personality in tact. For now, we are excited to have our Ben back.
We are still wondering about some of the logistics and timelines. One of the neurosurgeons mentioned that we may not be kept in the hospital until Wednesday when they do the pathology on the tumor. We don't know if that means we are moved all out into the Ronald McDonald, or if we are out of there too because Ben was released. It could be a day, could be two, we just do not know.
For now we are loving playing with Ben . . .
