Ben was up in the chair again today. He had an ultrasound and X-rays to check for fluid in the lungs, swelling of the liver and to see the vasculature or blood flow in and between the new organs.
All the tests were good. It was cool to see and hear the blood pumping to his new organs.
His pain is strong but manageable.
Quote of the Day: “I’d love an icy Orange Crush!”
Time moves very slowly here in the hospital.
You will notice “Welcome Back” written on the board. This is because our nurse today is the nurse that did Ben’s pre-op for Transplant here on the floor a few days ago.
The view out Benjamins window. If you look closely you can see some of downtown Clevelands skyline.
They have these great cubbies everywhere, they are places for family to meet and rest outside the room. From this particular cubby I can look out the window and see into Bens room across the way. I come here to talk on the phone so I don’t disturb Ben but I can still see if anyone comes into his room. I also eat my meals in this little cubby.
This is what house keeping leaves you here in the transplant unit. Isn’t it fun? I told Ben its like a mini cruise animal. Our house keepers are very creative. :). This is made with washcloths.
