March 22nd
Greg got a good night sleep last night. We are sitting watching the news and will soon order breakfast. Greg continued his amazing progress yesterday, taking a couple of walks around the unit. Beginning to look more like himself, laying in bed with his gym shorts and hoodie on.
Today's plan is a little up in the air. Depending on Dr. Du's directive he could move to a regular floor as early as today. That would mean removing his central line, coming off the levofed( IV used to keep BP high ), and eliminating IV fluids. This is aggressive and the nursing staff is lobbying to take things off more conservatively. His ultrasound(TCD) yesterday was actually slightly worse than he day before, so the less aggressive approach might keep him here another day or so before going to he regular floor. All in all we can't believe his rapid progress.
I am going to make an admission this morning. We have had a little free throw competition going on in the room over the past week or so. I have to admit that Jill is by far winning the tourney. But, I think she has to admit that she spends most of the day practicing while the rest of us are at work. Nonetheless, her 7 of 10 is a record that may holdup. Going forward we all have to agree that Greg is not a credible witness.
I have not seen John here since last weekend and although I see the stack of ProV1's growing we also need to do some record keeping on that front. Today is the 28th day since Greg's first aneurysm surgery. Thus: 28 x 3 = 84 golf balls. I only see 48 balls on the shelf, which by my tally leaves him quite short.
You really have to keep an eye on this Landry clan!!
Greg's sister Natalie has been working very hard on a special project for Greg. I hope she brings it to him today as the suspense is killing us. We all know how creative she is. Working, four kids, and trips from RI to the Brigham leaves her with so much free time.
Have a great Friday.
Mike
