Suze made the switch from ICU to a private room late this afternoon but getting there was pretty rough. Suffice to say, the "right hand" hadn't coordinated with the "left hand" from department to department & Suze got caught in a chair in "no-man's-land for a while. The charge nurse on her floor lived up to her title & took charge, staying long after her shift ended to see that Suze was comfortable. I was grateful for her effort & her compassion. Suze was pretty whipped when she finally got settled & has been sleeping since.
She should get some rest now that she's out of the ICU & that's exactly what she needs! A close friend is going to stay the night with her, allowing me to get a good night's sleep in my own bed. The simple pleasures are the very best!
Sleep well Kelly. Thanks so much for the updates. I'm so glad she is settled and I hope she is getting the rest she needs. Love and hugs to you all!
ReplyDeletePraying for you....thank you for this blog.....it really is great to know the specifics. We love you guys....this is all bringing back happy memories of our days in Bloomington/Normal!
ReplyDeletePraying for you sis. For you and the Family. We Love you and know that God has you in his Hands!
ReplyDeleteWe think about and pray for Suze several times each day. Having been through this procedure ourselves, we have an idea of the stress involved as you move through these first weeks.
ReplyDeleteSuze seems to be on the same timeline as Brock was, right down to the problems getting into a room. The attendants taking him in a wheelchair were more interested in talking than the task at hand and ran him right into the elevator door. I was quite unhappy.
Our motto: Our God is an Awesome God! He is, isn't He?

Suze, Kel and family....Praying for refreshment: of strength, sleep, and soul. Praying too for more "Jesus types" in scrubs for Suze...to bring comfort, care and added attentiveness. We love you...dislike the distance between Ft. Wayne and Middlebury about now...but we're thinking of you often throughout the days. Take care our friends!
