Moving to a new room

Today, Mom got moved off of the ICU unit. Her blood pressure continues to be stable. We are really excited about that. She's still having a little trouble breathing every now and then. She uses the oxygen at times, usually when she's resting. Since she got moved, she was able to get the arterial line removed. Her arm is all black and blue and does hurt. However, she's glad that it's gone. More than anything she's just tired. Mom wasn't able to get much rest again last night, so the lack of sleep is catching up with her. Her new room is a little quieter and darker, so I think she'll be able to rest more.

Tomorrow we are hoping to hear that she'll be able to get the fluid removed from her abdomen. As long as her blood looks good, it should be possible.
