Day 22 - Back to work!

Today was a pretty typical day. Owen got up and had school followed by Occupational Therapy. He made a craft and then went back to school.

In Physiotherapy he was able to stand 20 minutes straight on the tilt table. Then an extra 5 minutes following that for a total of 25 minutes. That is the first time since his surgery! He was even bouncing but he had to stop since he is still only bearing weight on his right leg. Mom has been trying to figure out what we need to do to make sure the house, and in particular the bathroom is set for when we go home so this doesn't happen again.

Then mom and Owen headed to the Tunnels to see if they could get to Tim Hortons without getting lost. We kind of did get lost and an AHS employee kindly guided us there...lol.. Good thing mom has a good memory because we didn't need help finding our way back. I should point out we could not go outside today because it was snowing and blowing in Edmonton all day!

When we returned to the unit we watched 3 episodes of Duck Dynasty as we do almost everyday. I think that show has been the greatest source of distraction on these long hospital days and nights.

Our roommate was out tonight and the unit was very quiet. Owen thinks it is creepy when it's quiet. He played Super Smash Bros on the Wii tonight.

Then Owen played with hid Traxxas and had a ball trying to run mom over. Good thing his battery only lasted a half hour!

We finished the night entertaining ourselves watching Dumbest Stuff on Wheels
