Courtney's last chest tube came out this afternoon! xrays from this evening looked good.
As long as tomorrow morning's xrays show that the lung has not collapsed Courtney will be ready to go to rehab.
She has been extremely agitated today and there's no doubt in anyone's mind here that she's more than a little ticked off at being in bed for 3 1/2 weeks. She continues to lift her hips, throw her legs over the side of the bed and move her arms around.
Nurses are working very hard to keep Courtney as comfortable as possible without over sedating her so that she can continue to emerge from the coma.
Courtney was very very happy to see Katy tonight. She stared into Katy's eyes for a very long time and had tears in her eyes.
Tomorrow will be another busy day with more physical and occupational therapy. Courtney will be in the chair alot tomorrow and hopefully will stand up with the aid of some special equipment.
We will let everyone know of our rehab choice, the date of the move and address as soon as available.
