(Disclaimer: We are not Kyle Busch fans, this is a photo Erin took at M & M World in Vegas)As Erin put it as we watched the NASCAR opener tonight, "today was amazing". She had another great day with more firsts.
1. Wear a real T-shirt, instead of a gown...CHECK
2. Put on socks, and not the ugly brown hospital ones without assistance...CHECK
3. Put on shoes without assistance...CHECK
4. Learn and complete standing exercises including calf lifts...CHECK
5. Group therapy with upper body exercise...CHECK
6. Date to the hospital garden outside with hubby...CHECK
7. Get heplock (IV site) removed...CHECK
8. #2...CHECK
As you can see, it was a pretty busy but rewarding day for both of us. She also walked during PT for about 30 feet which was great because today was about quality and not quantity. This was even after completing her standing exercises. We also got to relax and watch the NASCAR race together which made things feel like they were getting back to normal. All in all, it was a great day!
We miss you all and thank you for your support!
Love,
Erin and Andy
Sounds like each day keeps getting better and better! Glad to hear that today was another great day for progress in the PT department and that you were both able to relax a bit tonight. Things will be back to normal before you know it. Keep up the good work!

Atta girl!! Attitude will get you through this and your attitude sounds great. Thanks for the posts and you are in the thoughts and prayers of many! Paul and Char Rokke
ReplyDeleteIt is great to hear the progress. Very impressive with how quickly she is gaining ground. Andy, I think you have a secret passion to be a full time blogger.
ReplyDeleteGood work Erin! Each step (literally) is so wonderful to read about. We can't wait to see you guys when you get back. Hope they're starting to set their sights on a discharge date for you; just being home is always the best medicine (besides laughter, or course :-) ) Keep up the fantastic progress!!!!
ReplyDeleteErin, It's amazing how far you've come in a week. Keep up the good work, we can't wait to see you at home. It sounds like you had an awesome day. I hope you continue to progress quickly. Keep up the good work! The Zellers
