Today was Steve's first day at the Ronald McDonald House. He's doing so well. You should have hear him rave about the shower! Said it felt wonderful to be able to just sit under the never-ending warm spray and feel him muscles relax. He could have stayed in there forever, but his hunger won out. He doesn't have much of an appetite yet. We think it's because his pain medicine makes him sleepy pretty quickly and for the full dose period. So before he takes them, he tries to get some exercise, such as having his dad and I manipulating his legs, and then walking with the walker to the bathroom. I can't believe the progress he's made in less than a week. Everyday he goes longer and farther with the walker and wheelchair. His upper body strength is impressive and necessary to his recovery. Hopefully he'll let me take some pictures and post them soon.
