This Place is WAAAAAY Better

Well, they finally moved Stephanie at around 7:15 this evening. I can already tell you this place is way better than the ICU waiting room. They have a bed (kinda), the nurse brought me snacks and ice and juice, this nurse seems very nice as well.

Stephanie had a very eventful day, It started with Dr. Burke pulling the remaining two drains (one in her neck and one in her tongue) and also changing out her trach. Then she had the PEG tube installed in her stomach. Next came removing the catheter, and then being moved. Finally she got up and walked to a "bedside commode". Now she is sleeping (apparently) peacefully in the hospital bed and I am about to try and do the same in my kinda bed.
