Kenny has made substantial progress these last couple of days. Tuesday he was able to get up and walk a bit and at the end of the day was able to get two of the PIC lines out (he had a total of 3). Wednesday was the big day, he got his chest tubes out and started really getting his color back. Late Wednesday night they moved him out of ICU into a Telemetry Room.
Today he is better still with improved mobility and color. We are still having a few issues with Potasium and Blood Sugar levels, but these are normal things post heart surgery. Only one PIC line remains and it looks like he may come home tomorrow! He is doing very well, but will require a lot of care and time to heal. He gets winded easily and won't be able to push, pull or lift for several months, and will be eating a modified diet for a while - I think this may be the hardest for him. He wishes to thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes over the past week - love to all.
