Just got off the phone with Andy. He said he was so full he was feeling nauseous so I did most of the talking and he listened.

What he did tell me was that he's been out of bed, but only to sit in the chair for a bit, that way he can stretch and get out of bed but stay plugged into the wall. (The chest tube machine is has to be plugged in to work so that's why walks have been brief)

They now have him back on the IV along with an antibiotic. Preventative, I think. That's also plugged into the wall. He said once that finishes (it'll be about a half hour), he'll take a walk.

His hemoglobin levels are up to 9 now. They were at 8 yesterday. 10 is normal for most males I believe.

He has a roomie now, but the guy was out at the moment having a heart catheter done. Once he's back he has to lay flat on his back and not move at all.

The fluids are slowing down, but there's still no set date on when Andy will be released.
