Out and about

Alan had a rough night, waking several times and sleeping late. Doc H's resident came by to check on Alan and removed one more bandage. After an early visit by Doc L's fellow, Doc L came by and was very happy with Alan's condition. We're on track to have his cast put on Thursday morning. She gave us permission to take Alan out in a wheel chair or wagon once the PT adjusted his brace.

The OT came by with the rep from the medical equipment company to arrange for Alan's specialized car seat to accommodate the cast and to go over wheel chair options. Then it was time for Alan's walk. He was so happy to get out of the bed and out of the room. Unfortunately, the enormous playroom was closed so we circled the unit several times. During our first circuit, we ran into Auntie Joys and big brother Kevin - they were so surprised to see us out for a walk. Alan was just happy to be out and about!

  1. Yay! A walk! That's exciting. Alan looks great. I'm glad they're handling the carseat and wheelchair needs.
