Ridin’ Dirty

Today Thomas reached another milestone. He pulled out of Rm 12, Neurosurgery ICU in a wheelchair under his own power! Family and ICU staff cheered (and cried) as he rolled out of the unit, down the hallway, stopping at the spinal cord rehab center where he begin leaning how to operate his chair. Later he moved into his new room at the spinal cord injury center. For dinner we dined on a Canadian bacon, pepperoni, mushroom and cheese pizza followed by milkshakes for desert. Needless to say his appetite is back. All the activity and effort was exhausting, but progress felt good.
