Quick weekend update

Steve and Katie resting this afternoon

  • Cooper and Katie were able to visit with Steve on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We watched a movie, ate meals, napped, cuddled, caught up on details from the week.
  • Steve has not started blood thinners. We will visit with Dr. M this week to determine definitively if they are needed. Our current understanding is that the clot in his right leg is breaking up on its own and, for now, doesn't require additional help.
  • Steve is continuing to require oxygen and breathing treatments, plus he's taking cough and allergy medication. His lungs sound clear on daily exams.
  • Today was his day off from any therapy. Tomorrow he returns to three hours of physical and occupational therapy.
  • We're on track for his discharge Tuesday. We have a lot of loose ends to tie up (hospital bed and wheelchair delivery, next MRI, continuation of oxygen at home, etc.) Monday.
  • We are incredibly thankful for never-ceasing prayer and support and love from you all. Thank you!
