Well, I have been spending alot of time at the hospital lately. Yesterday(saturday) DJ had physical therapy twice. During his morning session, he was able to move from the bed to a chair and sit in it for an hour. This was his first time out of a bed since the accident. He did really well. During his afternoon session, his therapist had him take steps from his bed, with the assistance of a walker, to the window. Which was abou 3 or 4 steps and then he took backwards steps als well.
We are very thankful for this accomplishment.
This morning when we arrived, Rachel said that the dr's said he would be able to go home tomorrow. We were ecstatic! and could not believe the good news... then she said they had gotten results for a test that said his blood was low, so they will be giving him another blood transfusion this afternoon. this is in addition to 3 pints of blood they gave him while he was in SICU. So, no physical therapy today... bedrest and a delay on his return home. So maybe he will be able to go home on tuesday or wednesday. Still, even with this setback, he has improved leaps and bounds. I was also told that they have taken him off of the morphine shots and have started him on percoset. We also found out his nose was broken during the accident.
Over all we want to thank every one for their continued prayers, i believe that he would mnot have made these improvements without them.
