TGIF

Ronan is amazing all the nurses and doctors. His breathing tube came out finally at 3pm (after asking us every 10 minutes when it would come out...apparently morphine makes you forget...) and our nurse informed us that only 1% of patients go to room air right away (no oxygen mask). He is still under constant watch though because of his long surgery, but they expect we'll be on 7 Link sometime tomorrow.

my turn to catch some zzz's.

    Hey guys
    Great news. Can't wait to hear that you're out of intensive care and in your own room. We're waiting and watching for more good news. I'm not a bit surprized that you are amazing the docs and nurses those of us who've been close to you on a daily basis know just how strong and brave you've been through all of this. You're an inspiration to us all.
    Love to you all,
    Karen and Dave
