Out of SICU
Nathan just got moved from SICU, which by the way stands for Surgical Intensive Care Unit. He is now in the Orthopedic section of the hospital room 314. Moving him is always a challenge and it puts a real strain on him. But, up until the move he was having a pretty good day. Mostly sleeping but didn't seem to be in much discomfort. His arm is in a stabilizer that doesn't allow it to move. It will be about 2 weeks before he can move it and after that they want him to move it. I hear that the physical therapy people will be looking for him starting Monday. That will be interesting. Probably not too much fun but definitely something he'll have to endure for sometime.
We are so blessed that he is doing as well as he is. We've made acquaintances with other family's who have loved ones in SICU and it looks very grave for several of them. They have been so wonderful to us even going through all that they are going through. It continues to amaze me how people just keep giving and supporting. I guess that is what we do in times like these.
Steve and I had asked the kids not to come for a day or so as Nathan was really needing some down time. However, we think it is time to get him going again. He's pretty quiet today especially after the move but if you are in the area, please come see him for a short visit. He's now in room 314. Visiting hours are 11:00 to 8:00. He might not have much to say and probably won't feel like entertaining but, I'm sure he'll be glad to see all your familiar smiling faces.
Hugs to you all!

Halleluja and hope it doesn't sound too cliche to say, "Hang in there!" You all have been hanging in there amazingly well. Your relatives in Southeast Alaska are proud of you. We continue to keep Nathan, Steve, and Bev in our uppermost thoughts. Here's to your strength of spirit that shields you in your sudden misfortune.....
Love, Les and Karen
