Escape from ICU

Greg & Tony


We were able to bring Greg's power chair in today and we made a break for it. OK so, we only got as far as the waiting room and had permission, but it still felt like a jail break! The ICU staff have been incredible and PT and OT came in today and want to make sure Greg does not backslide and gets some therapy. They also can help connect us with much needed information for when Greg does outpatient PT and OT.

This was a much needed diversion to the bad news of more blood clots in the legs and the real possibility of staying in the hospital longer. So, the escape plus visits from David, Mike, Chris, and Kirsten went a long way to cheering up Greg.

We are trying to get back the strength and courage we had a few days ago, before all this happened. This was scary and we are trying to figure out how to move forward and leave the trepidation behind. One day at a time......
