One foot in front of the other...

Alex just took his first walk to the door and back to his bed. His oxygen is still on the low side and his heart rate has consistently been high, so he's not allowed to walk out of the room quite yet. He did a fantastic job on his first trip, though! In his words "the hardest part is getting up, it's easy after that!" He stood by his bed while our lovely aide Alice changed his sheets and got us warm washcloths for us to clean him up a bit. He stood for the whole "bath" and is now back in bed with a fresh set of sheets and a fresh gown. His pain is much better than it was before and he still has no nausea! He's one tough cookie if you ask me!
