He's no longer tethered to an IV pole or a monitor. He sat in a chair while he ate dinner and actually managed to get down a 1/2 of a turkey sandwich. Oh, and E. is especially proud of the fact that his plumbing is still working.
The nausea seems under control. The Vicodin is working great, but I think he needs it about an hour sooner than he can get it. That pain level climbs until it is finally time and then it takes awhile to get in the system and be effective.
The neuro surgeon visited E. in ICU right before he was transferred. He said he was pleased with E.'s progress and how everything is going. (E.'s surgeon from MD Anderson in Texas also called to check on him.)
I'm hoping he'll be able to get a good night's sleep.
(Room #478 for those who want to visit tomorrow or in the next few days.)
