Laps ( 3:55 pm )

 Another flurry of dr. visits today.  His baseline bpm was lowered to 80 by the pacemaker team.  They continue to lower the oxygen and adrenaline.  His PT/OT team were through and he took a lap around the ICU.  This will be a daily thing and as he becomes less tethered to the equipment will be able to do that on his own.  He is about to transition back into the bed to rest.  A full and productive day down here.

Awakening ( 8:10 am )

 Adam is slowly waking up and is glad to hear things went so well.  He is pretty heavily sedated but has been able to write a few short messages on a notepad.  He'll likely be able to look at his phone later today so feel free to text well wishes to him.   If things go like last time he will probably remain in the ICU for several days and then graduate to the Patient Care Unit ( PCU ) for several days.   Too early for visits now, but we'll share info on how to swing by as things progress.

Tubes ( 11:45 am )

 Breathing tube is out and several vestigial IV ports have been removed.  Adam has an oxygen mask proving some positive air pressure but he can communicate more easily.  He is not ready to talk on the phone and hasn't really even looked at any messages yet.  He has been asking about when he can stand up and start walking around.  They are slowing reducing the pain management.  All good signs.  I will plan to post again end of day.
