We're happy with Dad's continued progress. He has been feeling good, and the numbers show it! They did decide to move Dad out of the critical care unit and down to the oncology floor. We were kind of bummed, because his floor and room is so much nicer than the oncology floor, but the nurses do tend to respond to empty fluid machine beeps a lot faster on the oncology floor. Hopefully, he'll only be there for a short time.
Dad does need to get some electrolytes tonight (phosphorus, magnesium, etc.). Other than that, he's weaning himself from all of the infusions. Hooray!
Jordon had to fly back to Salt Lake City tonight, and I had to drive back to Denver this morning. We have had some great support. My friend, Amber, drove back with me so that I didn't fall asleep on the way home. It was so nice. Because she came and left her family, her family received a meal and babysitting. It's so nice how the line of help and support has worked on our family's behalf. Again, my mom mentioned how blessed she feels at this time. There have been a lot of little miracles.
My parents will be alone until Chris arrives on Wednesday, but they feel like they have things under control. What a week!
