Beth was indeed moved from her old haunt at the end of the ICU area to another room on the ICU floor, which is quieter, and Matt said she slept better last night than she has for the last couple. Also, the trauma doc indicated that they may take the chest tube out in the next few days, in which case she could be transferred to Boulder. As much as we've all been enjoying exploring the various routes to the hospital in Denver and trying to figure out which one makes the most sense given the time of day... it will be great to have our girl back in the 'hood--for a lot of reasons other than traffic! She had another CT scan this morning which showed increased inflation of the lung and there is less fluid being collected from the chest cavity. Her oxygen was decreased from 4 liters to 2.5, so things are really looking up in this second week of her recovery.
Matt also said that Greg Norton, a member of Rocky Mountain Rescue and the first person on the scene of the accident, visited Beth today. Thanks, Greg, for all you did in getting her stabilized and to the hospital. We are so grateful for all the efforts of you and your team on her behalf!
