Moving along

Brad is doing really well.  He is getting from his bed to his wheelchair all on his own, getting to the shower chair all on his own, and he walked using the parallel bars and a walker today. He cannot put any weight on his left leg, but he is able to put weight on his right leg as he can tolerate it. The doctor came in today and said that Brad's discharge date is now Thursday, December 23rd!!  This was great news and will make our family Christmas so much easier.  They have started talking about what equipment they will be ordering for Brad to be able to be at home (in Weatherford for now).  My dad was working on a ramp today. 

The kids came yesterday.  It was a good visit, although Will has developed a phobia of elevators. I think he thinks it's going to close on someone and hurt them.  He gets real panicky when we are getting on or off and tells everyone to hurry, hurry, hurry.  My mom suggested taking him to watch people getting on and off elevators so he could see people doing it without getting hurt. We'll have to do that sometime. 

Here is a video and picture of the visit.  There is a dancing Santa in the rehab room.  My kids are really into shaking their "booties" and this Santa does just that.  Carissa was dancing...very entertaining for her and us!
