Thursday Update...

David and I got to see Steve last night and it's amazing how great he looks now that he has that ventilator out of his mouth. He looks like the Steve everyone is used to knowing! :)

When we got there, the nurse said he'd had a fever of around 101, but while we were there she took it again and it was down to 98.3. They have him on 2 antibiotics and tylenol for the Staph - pretty aggressive, so we're happy about that. They told us last night that once they got all the Dr signatures, he'd go on a list to get into his own room in the IMCU - Intermediate Care Unit. This is great news. It means he's still progressing well and that he'll have his own space. Now mom can sit with him all day instead of an hour here or there throughout the day.

His right leg was doing a bit of moving last night. It seemed to be a reflex of having his toes touched, but any movement is good movement we think. He also was doing better with his right hand when mom asked him to squeeze hers.

He was playing catch with the nurses last night also. He would throw his squeezy ball and they would fetch it. I think he has them trained well, don't you? ;)

This morning mom said his fever was back around 101, but they are staying on top of it, so hopefully it goes back down again soon. They got all the signatures they need to get him moved, but now they have to wait on a bed, so it could be sometime today or tomorrow before he gets to leave where he is. Keep your fingers crossed that it's sooner rather than later.

More to come...
