Kristi asked her therapists if she could try the walker - 3 days later she walked almost 100 yards. She also got to go on her first outing - finally left the hospital to join the world. We went to Macy's and had a great time shoppping. She bought 2 pairs of flat shoes and a pair of boots.Her comment- short girls only have high heels and I don't think I can learn o walk in spikes. (So her!) Her face is still a little puffy from the steroids but as of Friday she is officially weened. Her tenacity and the pace with which she is gaining strength continues to amaze those that work with her. Her spirit inspires us all- she is definitely a miricle!
Lots of love!
Looks like you are doing great with the walker Kristi. I am so happy to see you doing so well. How is your right hand progressing? Keep the updates coming, I have all the nurses at Twin Cities watching... Hugs
