Things have finally turned the corner and we have had a couple great days in a row. Robbie has been resting very well and his fevers have been gone for about 18 hours now. We think it's because he is now sleeping in absolutely no clothes, but that's just our theory. He now has both stints removed, one Monday and one today, and Dr. Gearhart wanted to get his pelvic Xray today, so that was taken at noon. There is a possibility that Dr. Sponseller could look at the Xray today and determine how much longer we will be here. If things look good, the fixator could come out as soon as tomorrow and then the last thing would be the SP Tube, which they would probably take out Thursday. That would get us out of here Friday, as long as there was no fever, infection or something else that could pop up. Friday would be best case scenario but it could still go for awhile longer, who knows.
I don't know if this is always the case, but the last few days since the hurricane went through have been absolutely gorgeous. It has been what I like to call "Good Fat Guy Weather". This is where, as a fat guy, you don't sweat the second you walk outside and when you actually want to be out there and just soak up as much of it as you can. Other than the news with the Xray and fixator, there hasn't been much going on, and that is good. We are just hanging out and waiting to get out of this joint. Robbie is really wanting out and we think he is just resting up now so he can enjoy his life out of bed and out of the hospital.
We are now trying to figure out how we are going to get home and get all of our things we have accumulated over the last two months. A lot will depend on if we have stick around Baltimore once we are released or if we can just head out when they let us go. Either way, it is nice to have to start thinking about going home and getting out of this room.
