Swayhawkin' at the ICU

Bobby continues to progress. His lung collapse is now resolved (yay!), and Bubsy is starting to have more energy. He's even smiling occasionally. The doctors have added an additional diuretic - Diuril - to help with his lingering symptoms of congestive heart failure. He's started his NG tube feeds again, slowly at first, of course. He's off the morphine, and is only taking Tylenol and the occasional Ativan dose for pain / restlessness. After hearing about his great progress during the morning rounds today, I was surprised when the cardiac surgeon said he'll probably be discharged in 4 to 5 days. Four to 5 days? What happened to Sunday (tomorrow) or Monday (in 2 days)? The timetable is never predictable when you're Bubsy Malone.
