Yes, the ICU -- but only because the hospital is so busy tonight. If he wasn't in the ICU, Wiley (and his mom) would be stuck in a room with another patient, and yes, the ICU seems more appealing than that.
Wiley's done great today, just still pretty worn out and cruddy-feeling from yesterday's surgery. He walked a little this morning, and his PT thought he walked better than before the surgery. He's having an especially hard time with his vision today, no doubt due to all the pain meds he again has to take for a bit.
Everyone seems to think it's going to be a fast recovery from this surgery. His neurosurgeon said Wiley'd for sure be out before he'd been at the hospital a month, and that's coming up on Tuesday. Nancy said she and Tim were kind of thinking he might even get home this weekend!
None of the hospital staff are really actively talking about the Santa Clara Rehab Center any more; the consensus seems to be shifting towards having him work with outpatient programs here in Santa Rosa.
What, when, how are all unclear -- but a fantastic recovery trajectory is not, because he's already on it. Butter-Side-Up kid, for sure.
