He stands!

It's been a fun tube-free weekend. Alan has been pretty happy and playful, but he is still eating virtually nothing. He's drinking fortified Pediasure, guzzling the unflavoured Pedialyte and this evening had a few pieces of potsticker filling. Hopefully he won't have lost too much weight over the weekend.

The good news is, Alan stood on his own for the first time since leaving the hospital tonight! He was in the bath tub, and for some reason didn't want to sit in the water. He was still putting most of his weight on the left leg, using the right leg mostly for balance, but he stood for almost a minute! It's a good step forward.


Unfortunately, no picture of Alan standing, but here's one of him as Destructo Boy

  1. Yay for standing! I'm glad he's doing so well and the chemo is shrinking that darn thing!
