Bittersweet

When I got to the hospital today Nate was sitting up and seemed happy. Dr. Khilnani came in and gave Nate the go ahead to move to a different room. It was a bitter sweet moment as we said goodbye to him and his team of medical students. I shook his hand and he hugged me. It made me cry because I have really come to love the nurses and doctors that have been with us. Dr. Khilnani is such a funny doctor and was always giving Nate a hard time. He was always making us laugh and it was nice to have on those days when we just needed a little humor.

The day went well as we anticipated the move to the new room. We waited and waited and it never happened. Nate started to get a headache around 6pm and he had a fever of 100.4 by the time I left. I went back around 9:00 and his head was still hurting. He was still in ICU. I only stayed with him for a half hour or so because he wanted to sleep. I want these fevers to stop. He had gone 36 hours without any fever but for some reason it came back. I hope he feels better tomorrow.

The nurse called me around 10pm and said they had moved him out of ICU and into a regular room. I can't wait to go see him tomorrow and check out the new room.I know we are one step closer to coming home but I am not sure why it seems so hard to leave the people in the ICU. I think I might actually miss them a little.
