Yes. We passed our tests this morning. 1. Pee on our own and 2. Remove central line. So . . . we are in our new room!!!! We have orders today to get up and walk. The “Marriot is closed.” (as the nurse explained to us) So we must take every meal sitting up in a chair. He is taking a quick nap before he has to get up and move. He said he doesn’t need PT to help him. He’s got Mom and Grandma and they help Grandpa H. all the time get up (especially Grandma). His words.
We will be in our new room for a while. We have to get an xray tomorrow and we have orders for another xray and sonogram on Sunday. There are orders written to take the pacing wires (external pacemaker kind of thing) out on Monday. So they are telling us that we will probably be here through Tuesday. Who knows. I have stopped predicting this kind of thing.
I was waiting to eat lunch until we got to Ben’s new room. But now we are trapped on this floor. The firewall unexpectedly came down and now no one (well. the staff elevators aren’t having a problem) can leave or get here. So now I am starving and waiting.
Mom is working all of the angles to try to get downstairs to get us something to eat. Hopefully she will work her magic. Knowing her she will find a way.
Aunt Debra is bringing the girls up to see me today. I am so excited. I didn’t realize how much I miss them. My brain has been engaged in other places and I know that they are well taken care so I don’t need to worry.
Well I was right. Mom found a way. She has brought sustenance. We will let you know more and the day goes on.
The Puddles 
Moms have a way of getting whatever their kids need, you know, it doesn’t make any difference how old the kids are! I know the girls will be glad to see both you and Ben. Things are looking up — God is good!
