We graduated from the ICU last night 🙌🏻.  Wasn’t ideal that it happened at 3:30am and the move itself was really rough on Erich (bright lights, loud noises, beds banging into walls) but this morning he is finally resting comfortably.  I advocated to have his pain regimen tweaked a bit and it seems to be working so far 🙏🏻.  

Plan is still to have surgery Monday to fix all of his facial fractures, which means 3 more days of him waiting, not doing much.  It’s so hard watching him not able to do anything he enjoys like listen or play music, reading, crosswords, or watching sports.  He’s just so sensitive to everything right now.  He did (and me too) get to see James yesterday which we all needed!  At home James frequently asks for a “big family squeeze” which we can’t do quite yet but I’m hoping soon!  He also got to talk to his Granny Sherryl on the phone for a few min.  I know he loved hearing her voice (and her, his!). That’s all the updates for now.  Hoping for a chill, uneventful weekend. 💙
