Progress and Patience

Meredith is doing very well. She has been more awake and has eaten a little bit of food. This morning they removed her chest tubes and began weaning her off one of the last meds that she will have to get off of before going to the floor. We are hoping to go to the floor tomorrow, but it will likely be Monday. The criteria for going home (as I heard it anyway) are:


1) All meds are being given orally

2) She is off the oxygen

3) She is eating and keeping her food down

So as long as she continues to improve at this rate she should be able to go home this next week.
