Woo Hoo! Out of ICU!

Today is a GREAT day!
The weekend was a rough one. Friday Jim woke up in severe pain. After many tests they found that his liver cavity was filling up with blood. To reverse this they had to take him off of his blood thinners.
With out the blood thinners they were worried that one of the clots could possible make it into his brain and cause a stroke. Out of precaution they placed a filter in the artery leading to his brain.
This landed him in ICU over the weekend. They have been monitoring the process of the bleeding in his liver. Sunday they were pretty positive that the bleeding had subsided.
They continued monitoring his progress throughout the night and moved him out of ICU this morning! All of us are so excited! This is a HUGE step in his recovery! For all of you out there that have kept Jim in your thoughts and prayers...THANK YOU! Keep your prayers coming! Love to all!
