Out of ICU!

Dan is out of ICU.  Things are going good.  He still has the infection, but things are continuing to improve.  He had a successful PT session today.  He's able to move from the bed to a chair by the bed with their assistance and a walker.  Today he took a few baby steps in between.  Each time he's hesitant that he's going to be able to do what they want him to because he's weak, but he does it.  It's hard to see him like this.  Dan's always been so strong and been able to do anything and everything and now it takes all his strength to reach a standing position and take a few steps.  I watch this huge guy work so hard for every movement and step.  He stays determined, though, and presses on.  He misses everyone; the kids, being at home, and being at school. Thank you for your prayers ~
