Our 3:30pm PT went really well. Chandler's lower back has been hurting a little bit today and she really didn't want to go on the walk, but she's a trooper and she did as she was asked. We did a lap from our door to the nurse's station around the hallway and then back to our door. She was sort of ready to quit, but Brittany really wanted her to do a few stairs. By the way, we were able to get our IV stopped / removed for PT, so that was helpful not to have to roll the holder thing around with us. We ducked into the stairwell and Chandler climbed a few stairs and turned around and came back down. She did really well.
I'm sitting here thinking about the fact that this time tomorrow, we are actually going to be home. I stand amazed with today's medical technology ... a spinal fusion patient with a scar that's at least 12" long, has had their spine straightened and derotated / manipulated by hand, had 2 rods inserted and screwed to their spine and then got all sewn back together again ... is now up walking and will be back home 72 hours post surgery. I am so thankful that God has gifted so many people with the abilities, the intelligence, the desire to do these amazing and wonderful things that improve people's lives.
I will post again tomorrow to let everyone know that we have officially arrived home.
And THANKS again for all the thoughts and prayers. They have definitely helped us through this experience.
