We ARE getting out of ICU

They are working up the orders, and he is going to a regular room this afternoon. They want to keep him on the IV antibiotics through tomorrow morning, but doc said as long as the fever doesn't come back, he can go home tomorrow.

Since he is going to the regular room, I am thinking it is necessary to smuggle the Poochie in for some "pet therapy". Big Bird is certainly low on the Poochie kisses quota!

It has been a whirlwind of a week. Things were really scary Monday night, Tuesday and even into Wednesday, but Thursday has seen glimpses of Big Bird returning to himself.

Now we just hope and pray for a liver to come sooner rather than later, and that we won't have any more of these hospital scares before the big surgery.....

I'm glad he's getting out of ICU! Let me know if you get away with smuggling poochie in. LOL
Tell Dusty that if he's tired of the "wonderful" hospital food, I'll be happy to bring some good food up to him.

***BREAKING NEWS- Big Bird had his Liver Transplant on Wednesday December 12, 2007***

Adventures in Big Bird's Liver World is an account of the daily adventures, trials, frustrations and workings of living with PSC. My brother, aka Big Bird, was diagnosed with PSC in 2000, after battleing UC for many years. He was listed for a transplant in May 2007. We now await the infamous "call". In the mean time, this is where we vent, poise questions and ramble about life, doctor appointments, illness, good days & bad days.
