Friday update

Things are going pretty well, considering Alex still has to be flat on her back and is a little tired of watching TV by today--day 3.  She is off IV drugs, and currently only has the IV for fluids.  She will get that and her catheter taken out tomorrow morning in time for her first ride on the prone cart.  We got out of her room briefly last night, but her bed is pretty unwieldy to move around, so hopefully she will enjoy getting out and about on the prone cart, which is a lot more maneuverable.
