Bye bye ICU, Hello Gibson, 1pm

I never thought we'd be happy to arrive at Gibson Pavillion, but it is happening for the second time this week.  Christmas Eve I was relieved to have Anne admitted, and today we are released from ICU back here, a good thing.  We are extremely grateful to the staff in ICU.  It worked like clockwork for Anne, and took care of her in what seemed a short time.  We couldn't have written the script any better and I'm thankful to them.  Job well done.

Anne and the doctors in ICU have licked the staff infection in Anne's blood, and her kidneys continue to improve.  She's in a wheelchair right now being brought here to her room 564 at Gibson.  Day light awaits her here on the 5th floor.

Her white blood numbers over the past 4 days have gone from 19.4, to 17.6, to 14.8, to 11.4, and today to 10.6.  I think it means they are winning over the infection.  Blood cultures are coming back negative now. 

She still cannot have a CT scan, her kidneys are not that well, but soon they will check for the status of the clot, and do some checking into her belly pain.  She is back to square one as far as belly pain.
