Today has been a good day!  He has been in good spirits today and we even had a moment when the nurse was in the room that got the 3 of us tickled. lol  It's been a week since we've been able to laugh at anything and it felt good.  They came in to begin to get him up and he was able to sit on the side of the bed for a minute.  That was all he was able to do today, but it was still encouraging.  We'll try again tomorrow, and I know Dan, and he will push it beyond that.  He has good circulation in his foot which is so encouraging when you consider the damage that's been done to his leg.  We are very excited about it showing good blood supply and circulation moving through all of it.  His chest is causing the most discomfort off all, even above the leg.  Originally, we were told broken ribs on just the left side, but found out yesterday that they are all broken on right as well, it's just the left was so much worse that it required the plates being put in.  So as you can imagine, every breath hurts.  He is doing good, though, and I'm so proud of how he's handling it all.  He's cracked a joke with the nurse a time or two and that's the Dan we know!  Hoping to move out of ICU in the next couple days as long as we keep seeing improvment.  Thank you to all who care about how he's doing.  I continue to share it with him when he wakes and it's encouraging to him.  I'll keep you posted ~
