Lisa is showing some improvement, although her pain level is still pretty high. They moved her out of ICU late this afternoon to an intermediate unit (one step closer to the door and back home) where I suspect that she will be for about 4-5 days and then back home. Yipee!!! I am already getting tired of the hospital, so I can imagine how she feels. Anyway, hopefully tomorrow her intestines have woke up enough so that she can start eating again. That's the next goal, and from hereon out it should be normal progression. Sure do hope so. Stay strong Mike

Sounds real good Mike, hang in there you're doing a great job (as well as the patient!) You guys will be out of there before you know it. All my best.
