Working on discharge orders!

The nurse practitioner came from neurosurgery.  She gave the go ahead to go home.  They said that if they had to replace the tubing (so an additional incision on her back) then she would have to stay until Sat.  But because she only had one in the front she gets to go home earlier.  So the nurses are working on getting her out of here!!!  Woo Hoo!!!
