ICU Update

Cathy is fairly comfortable unless she moves. We have moved her around in her bed twice. The first time she was, I think surprised by her surgery pain, but the second time she made the move with no problems. They even changed her sheets while she was in bed. I don't think it is a technique that I will be using on our beds at home. Cathy has a one-on-one nurse. She handles any issues or requests quickly. Even though Cathy is pretty doped up and doesn't start any conversations, she still has a quick wit with her responces to questions!

    I remember practicing how to change beds like that with my friends in nursing school and doing it a few times on patients at Primary Children's. I can teach you how if you want me to, Dad. Sounds like Mom's doing well! Tell her I love her!

    I'd like to see Cathy apply the sheet change procedure herself, while she is in the bed... ;o)

    Thank you for keeping us posted.
