Rebeccas Transplant Journey

Hello Family and Friends,
Well another eventful day here at transplant central. The arterial line and one of the IV access lines came out; and Beck's color is improving very nicely. Her swanz line is still in and will probably go tomorrow. Vital signs and pressures have stabilized. Today also marked not once , but twice that Rebecca was able to sit up and move to a chair bedside. She was able to sit for 30 minutes the first time and 45 minutes the second. She also has begun using her triflow incentive spirometry and is doing well with it, better each time. Her sister Ingrid braided her hair and Elsa washed her up....I took pictures if you must know what I did during all this. I've kind of also become the official photographer for Beck, as she wants to see what she missed from the beginning and document this incredible journey.
The ICU nurses here are quite outstanding and we are very pleased with their wonderful bedside manner and expertise. We are continually amazed with the care and passion these fine folks display and the approach to their job; reminds me of my colleagues.
So on that note, we wish you all a good Saturday night and Thank you for your prayers and well wishes.
Sincerely,
Ron and Rebecca
