First the 'Beyond.' Lars was able to meet with many of his friends tonight that were involved in the accident. Emotions were close to the surface for all. Love was in the air. Lars hasn't had quite as long to process everything as the others, but he is doing very well. He really loves his friends. There was a lot of healing that happened tonight.
Next to 'Body Works.' What an incredible day for Lars. Twice he was able to get out of bed and walk down the hall. The people in the ICU don't usually get to see such feats of physical therapy. (usually standing up and sitting in a chair is the norm). I think some of them started doing the wave as he walked by. (Of course with those hospital gowns, I'm not sure what they were waving at.)
Third, 'Bath.' Yep it's time again. Anika reminds me that Lars doesn't smell as good as either store. Three baths in three days. Lars may break out in a rash.
Lastly, it's time for 'Bed.' We all need our rest to rejuvenate us, Lars included. In order to help his lungs to stay as open as possible while he sleeps, the ICU doctor wants him to wear the BiPAP machine tonight. This is not a step backward in oxygenation. Rather it is a treatment for his lungs to help them get better more quickly.
Good night all. It has been another miraculous day.
