Sunday morning in ICU

Felix is doing better. The doctor decided that he needs some blood (calling it a transfusion) because his blood pressure is too low and his blood count (8.6) is a bit lower than it should be. They usually recommend blood transfusion for blood count below 9.0. Felix wasn't too happy about this news - he thinks all of these treatments are the reason why he can't walk. So he's complaining a lot. Hope to have him off of oxygen and walking before the end of day (not too sure there is anyone around to do therapy). So depending upon how he reacts to new blood and if he can get some movement going will impact when he can be released. Hoping for a Wednesday flight home which might be too optimistic, but we can always dream.
