Still in ICU

Waiting for the doc and team here in ICU to make rounds this morning. Ron is eating a huge breakfast, and he ate a huge dinner last night after almost two days of not being allowed to eat. The first day he didn't care, but he was hungry all day yesterday. He is on 36% oxygen now, down from 100% when he first came to ICU. That is well within the criteria for being able to move to the regular floor in Mott. The move to Mott should happen this afternoon.
The PT is coming shortly to have him try walking. He has only been bed to chair. I started this blog entry much earlier this morning. Since breakfast he has had his "bath" and had the arterial line removed and monitoring leads disconnected. He continues to have 3 IVs but only using 2 of them now. Nice not to have so many tubes and wires going on.
I have no idea how long he will be hospitalized on the bone marrow transplant unit. They did tell us if a patient comes in not needing to use oxygen that that is how they like him to go home. If he needs to have oxygen at home, I will have more to learn.
All tests have been negative so far! He does not have the flu and not a urinary tract infection. Blood cultures and bronchial tests not back yet. As you probably know, xrays and CT scans of his lungs showed pneumonia. They also did biopsies of his lungs yesterday-- that could confirm GVHD of his lungs and/or help determine what organism is causing the problems. At least that is how I understand what the doc told me. The tests for the two viruses, CMV and BK which have made him sick in the past, are not back yet. His WBC is normal. As I tell Ron, you are never a dull moment!
I stayed at the Hampton last night, but I will move into Ron's room in Mott with him. It has a pull out bed for me.
