Saturday

Ethan has been much more awake today. We've been watching movies and we even had PT come and teach us how to help him log roll to get on his side so we can help him sit up in a way that won't hurt the incision on his back. We also go into the wheelchair for a short time this morning, then this afternoon we helped him take a few steps on very wobbly and weak legs. After that, we had a nice stroll to the rooftop garden and the playroom. I forgot to bring my camera, so no pictures from our outing. We're supposed to get him up into the wheelchair again later around dinnertime to help him get used to sitting. Tomorrow PT will be here to work more on walking before they'll let him go home. There is a chance we'll go home tomorrow, depending on how well he can get back to walking and that his bowels will move. We'll see how things go. He's been pretty slow to get moving again after this surgery.
