Today Natalie was moved from the stepdown ICU to the hospital's 5th floor, a general care wing. Because of her regulatory levels, nurses removed her central line, which monitored her heart rate and blood pressure among other things. Nat still has an IV in her wrist for administering medication. This obviously brings Natalie closer to the rehabilitation stage where she will hopefully regain a majority of her functions.
Rebecca is currently resting at a motel in Fayetteville, North Carolina. She is about 680 miles from Syracuse which translates roughly to 10 hours at an average speed of 70mph. The weather forecast for tomorrow is thunderstorms up the east coast so she may stop to rest tomorrow night as well, pending the road conditions and her location by 5PM.
