Lots of good news tonight in a very short post.
First, Trent is out of the ICU and back in the Transplant Unit on the eighth floor! Still no visitors - his body is fighting hard to ward off infection without an immune system - but Jill and Trent have their own "apartment" again, complete with a recliner for Jill to sleep in and a view of Cleveland. The room is small, but it's much larger than the ICU waiting room efficiency that Jill had set up for a while...and it has a shower. :-)
Second, food! Real, solid food! Well, solid, hospital food (can't always be called real food), but food just the same.
Third, no more supplemental oxygen! Trent is breathing room air, and his oxygen saturation level (O2 sat) is at 98% (out of 100%) - that's better than many "healthy" people!
Sorry for the bullet points, but I wanted to make sure the info got up tonight. There are a couple of people from the Cinci area who are headed up to Cleveland this weekend - not to visit (have I mentioned NO VISITORS?) but to drop off cards, etc. at the hospital, so if you have something that you want to make the trip but don't want to send by mail, drop a comment on the blog or leave a note on the Friends of Trent Todd Facebook page, and I'll get you in contact with the appropriate delivery person.
I'm sure I don't even have to say it, but Trent is still pushing...you keep praying!
God is so Good!!! We are so excited to here the outcome!! Keep fighting and pushing buddy we sure are praying for you!! God isn't ready for you, he still needs you here to spread your love and kind heart. We need more Trent Todds in this world they are few and far between..Livestrong my friend!!
