Day 36-Day 37

Day 36

Owen was so thankful to not have to be at the hospital until noon. He had a little bit of school then Physiotherapy. He was able to stand with the chest strap off on the tilt table today. The leg straps and tray remained but he supported his weight.

In Occupational Therapy he tried to put his own shorts on. Unfortunately the therapies were too close together and the goal had to be discontinued. We decided to focus on things that took less energy besides standing. He will work on transfers and sitting up in bed.

We went to the mall for supper and then watched Hells Kitchen. The day tuckered us out so it was early to bed.

DAY 37

Today Owen was able to walk with bars in shallow end of the pool. He transfered himself in and out of bed mostly on his own.

One of his friends had a pizza party tonight for her last night as an inpatient. Everyone got pizza and had ice cream sundaes with all the toppings they wanted! Owen turned his into a sundae float with pepsi. Thanks Bella and Bev.

Following that he made clay characters for several hours and spent the rest of the night watching Family Guy. He was weighed today and despite all the steak he has been eating he has only gained 2 pounds.
