Happy Weekend! Have a tasty treat like this gelato that Erin had at the Bellagio! We hope that you all had a great week. We are happy to look back on the progress that Erin has made this week. Today was another good day with continued strength building exercises.
We started the day with Erin getting ready with a "bedside bath". Not quite as good as the shower, but good enough for the hospital. We had a later start with therapy so we were able to relax with my parents before they left for St. George. PT focused on different techniques to do stairs, exercising, and stretching. Paul taught me how to help Erin stretch for when we are home. It was good to practice with a PT watching so I don't pull her leg off or break her in two when we will do them when we are on our own.
She also had a short wound-care session which brought her total covered wounds down to 1. They are all looking great and it is crazy how fast she has healed.
A highlight for the day was seeing our friend Bennett. He came to visit us for the day and will be leaving tomorrow. It is so nice having another familiar face here and has been a good outlet for me for the day.
The next two days will not have scheduled PT but we will walk the halls. We actually just took a stroll up and down the hallway. I think it was the best walk Erin has had yet. Hopefully tomorrow will be both relaxing and helpful in building strength. We are definitely getting closer to making it back to Iowa!
Have a great weekend and cheer loud for Tony Stewart....oh, you can cheer for Erin too.
With Love,
Erin and Andy
