Another day has passed and Karl has gotten that much closer to being out of the Cardiac ICU. Vitals are mostly stable and his care has turned from monitoring immediate danger to planning what will come next to aid in his recovery. We visit Karl daily and make ourselves available to help with whatever he needs. Our focus is helping him feel as comfortable as possible and keep encouraging his small vistories. Day by day....
Despite feeling the discomfort of being in a bed for a week, Karl has managed to keep his spirits up and even show us his sense of humor. He is aware of everything that has happened to him and understands what lies ahead. We are anxiously awaiting his move to the non-intensive cardiac floor.
