The winds are getting pretty intense right now but it's hard to see from our room. We back to another building with a construction site caddy corner. But we can see the street lights and signs whipping in the wind. The hospital has power, hot food, staff and wifi. We lost the hot water but I think we'll survive.
The bridges and highways are all closed so some so the day nurses couldn't get home, but looks like most of night shift did arrive. There are 3 giant cranes across the street and we've been watching them since last night. They're really my only worry. We just started hearing some loud bangs from outside so not sure what it was, but the cranes are moving appropriately in the wind. Well, that's what Jen keeps saying anyway. She has some history with them, so I'm gonna go with her on this one. Besides, she's closest to the window ;)
As for Caelen, he's doing well. He weaned of the nitric oxide last night and is down to 4 liters of hi flow (down from 12). The cath lab is not forgotten, but not imminent either. He got out in the wagon a record 3 times today!! So much easier without nitric. He had a better day too as far as mood and laughter go, so all in all, a success.
Poor Jen did get stuck here though with all the weather. Seriously, who leaves the safety of Florida to fly into a hurricane? Only a Herron. Did I mention she works for a power company that just shipped 500 employees up here to help clean up? She's supposed to be behind a desk, not in the thick of it. Well that'll teach her to come to Philly during hurricane season.
Love to all as we try and sleep and forget about the giant cranes swinging in the near distance.
