The next step is here! George is out of the ICU and into the regular care (less nurses to a patient) part of the hospital, St. Elizabeth room 7550. Many of the tubes are out, but enough still in that he can’t move around on his own—but he claims to be mobile. They started the tube feeding tonight and will do a barium test in the morning that will determine whether he can have fluids by mouth. He hopes to be home in 2-3 days. Progress!
