9:45pm 7/8/2010 Update ...

Chandler has done great today. It was a long, eventful day for her. She had lots of visitors today and was able to visit a fair amount with all of them. She got up and out of bed about 6 times today. PT ended up not making her do the lap up to and back from the nurses desk. She just wasn't quite up for it and today was not a day that they pushed her ... tomorrow, however, will be a different story. She did get up and walk from one side of the room to the other, sat in the chair a couple of different times for an hour or so, and is doing really well doing some shifting in the bed on her own. Tomorrow we are doing the lap to the nurses desk and also doing a few stairs. Again, I say, I am amazed. She is being a very good patient and we are so proud of her.

We had another milestone tonight, that I knew would eventually happen .... tonight when the nurse came in to take her vital signs, Chandler asked if it was OK to get her cell phone out. :-)

Ahh good sign if she is asking for her cell phone. LOL
She gets her strength from the Lord and her family are great examples of strength.
