Hello All!!
If you wrote down the information before... check it out again- Gabe's room changed. We're doing really well, Gabe spent an hour today in a mobile stander and is really excited about starting to get up in the walker/gait-trainer and maybe even into the pool!! We went #2 on the potty for the first time since surgery today and we got to take a shower in his new room!! YEAH!! Very exciting stuff!
I'll try to update again soon!!
Love ya!! xoxo!-Kari

Gabe is doing really well in therapy and is tolerating his new surroundings like a champ. He got up into the Gait-trainer, and while it is very slow going he is able to move it on his own! They are changing around his goals and we may get out sooner than expected. I'll keep you up to date- as soon as I learn anything new.

Gabe had a great day today- he really liked all the weird stuff they had going on at the hospital today due to Halloween- he didn't want anything to do with the party however. After a long day of therapies- I walked him over there just to see what all they were giving away and Gabe said 'NO" as we walked up. The music was a little loud and all the "spooky" stuff wasn't exactly winning him over. But he really did like seeing the way they had the hospital all decorated and seeing some of the staff in silly costumes.

They are talking about a week from Friday as Gabe's discharge date. So we'll be getting out sooner than expected! I'll update again when I know for sure.

Doing well, He won't be getting into the pool- they are doing their yearly maintenance this week- so it's drained and stripped. We're going to talk to them this week about what goals are left for Gabe as we approach his discharge this Friday- We're trying to figure out what else they want him to accomplish this week. His team meeting is today so we'll get more information later today or tomorrow.
