Today was a busy day in Levi's room. The final 2 chest tubes were removed. His right lung had compressed some, possibly from those large chest tubes. A much smaller one was inserted into his chest to get out the last of the air out.
The central line was taken out of his neck and a picc line inserted in his arm. He can move out of ICU with the picc line but not the central line.
The dressing was removed from where they opened his chest. It looks as good as something like that can look.
He walked another 3 laps around the unit.
There is talk of moving out of ICU in a day or two and possibly going home next week. He told us this morning, "It seems they want me to go home, like I've overstayed my welcome!"
