Rex was officially moved out of the ICU and put into a regular room this morning. His strength has improved dramatically over the weekend and he was able to walk laps around the unit several times today. His appetite appears to be getting better as well. The Infectious Disease people came by today and let Rex know that the antibiotics he is own intravenously are available in pill form which will allow him to leave the hospital. He had another heart biopsy today and so far all is looking great. If all continues to go smoothly Rex can be discharged as soon as tomorrow! His spirits are high and he looking forward to getting back to the apartment and beginning cardiac rehab again. No word yet on how this has impacted are return date to Tolleson. We were originally scheduled to be heading home this weekend, but with the infection and subsequent reopening of his chest to clean it all out I am not certain if that is still possible. I am just glad to see him doing so much better. Everyone at the hospital is amazed at his speedy recovery. Rex and I both know and acknowledge that God's fingerprints were all over this! I am looking forward to being able to blog about Rex's future discharge.
Goodnight and as always, thank you for your prayers!
