Robert got word first thing this morning that he is probably getting moved to GF Strong ..... tomorrow! We have not received the final word yet, but everything is pointing in that direction. Because he is able to partially weight bear, and because a bed is open now, he can continue his recovery and get on with more rehab there. This is exciting, as well as a little scary. Another new system to learn, and a whole new set of people to meet .... but a huge step in getting closer to coming home.
Today the transfer from bed to wheelchair went much more smoothly, and the standing at the parallel bars was also showing improvement over yesterday. He is taking alot of the weight on his arms, but today was able to put more on his right leg. The hamstrings in the left are so tight, that it causes him tremendous discomfort to put much weight on that side. But that will improve with time, I'm sure.
Anyways, praise God for this new development. Pray that the transition will go smoothy, and for wisdom and skill for his new physios and caregivers. Be spurred on to pray for continued healing of all affected bones, muscles, and nerves.
If you don't hear from us tomorrow, it will be because there's too much going on with settling into a new place.
Blessings on all of you praying bloggites,
Chris

Dear Chris, Robert and family
Wowzers...when I said "to infinity and beyond" like Buzz Lightyear I didn't think it would be this quick. It all sounds very promising for you, Robert. I sent a package today to VGH so I don't know how you will intercept it but now you know it's on the way. And I'm sure your intrepid Mother will be on mail alert! Looking forward to hearing more about your progress each and every day.
Your bloggite friends...bob and pat a.

It's so great to hear all the progress you're making Robert. You're one tough cookie. I hope this doesn't make you feel uncomfortable, but I keep dreaming about you walking around and stuff. I guess you're just on my mind - in a good, non-weird way. Corinne and I are praying and cheering for you.
