Will did great overnight. He got woken up at least every two hours by the nurse for some medication or to change the way he was laying or to check his blood sugar. The fun wake up calls were the ones where the very loud alarms had me jumping out of the chair each and every time. We were finally woken for the day at 6:30 by his surgical team who were VERY impressed with his progress. Some patients cant even move their legs yet and Will is just fluttering and bending his legs like it 'aint no thang. Then he saw his neurosurgeon, ate breakfast, had Physical Therapy and met with the Pain Control Team (who were most proud of the fact he hasn't once complained of pain). After all that, he was pooped. He's now snoring soundly getting some much needed rest after the busy morning.
I attended the daily huddle outside of Will's room since he was sleeping. Most of it was just summarizing his progress thus far but I did find out his transfer to Mt. Washington will not be happening until Monday, not Friday. While this is slightly disappointing, Mt. Washington doesn't have a bed for him until then, so it is what it is, I suppose. The Doctor did refer to Will's demeanor as "charming" twice throughout the huddle. So true - what a perceptive Doctor!
