Glad katkeeper is doing well. Penn Presby is an awesome heart center. Yes, they do call MICU "Mick-you." Neonatal ICU is "Nick-You." They do not, however, call regular ICU "ick-you." Probably something to do with the negative connotations.
Yes, the 14 is the respiration rate. I've spent a lot of time watching monitors also. Those were some nice numbers. I had to wear the squeezy-pants after my gall bladder surgery. It's a little weird, but they do prevent blood clots.
That arrangement with all the necessary "stuff" in an ICU room is becoming more and more common. Abington Memorial did that as well. I've tried to decide whether it is comforting or disturbing to have the crash cart in the room with you.
Was Bradford Linn on her surgical team? He was one of momwolf's cardio-thoracic guys, and he is really good. Actually, anyone down at Presby was really good.
