Yesterday, after being out of the hospital one week, she took ten steps!!! That's the first time she has walked in about a year! Today, she took eighteen steps!
The therapy has been going great, and she has been so excited!!
Needless to say, the steps don't come without a lot of support, but just moving her legs and shifting her weight from one leg to the other is a big deal! We are all very excited and blessed!
The next step (so to speak) will be for her to be able to get herself around and out of bed and to a standing position on her own.
I believe (not sure) she has a doctor's appointment either the end of this week or early next week to see about the stitches, etc. from the knee surgery.
They'll have her walking the halls of the nursing home pretty soon!
