Rehab

We are out of the PICU once again. We got back to the floor on Wednesday I think, it has been so nice to see sunlight again, we have a window spot. Very nice. We got to go down to Physio pool today. I think Parker was excited to get out of his room, but he wasn't prepared for where we were going. We walked in to the pool and he had a little freak out, I thought he was going to jump out of my arms. He was so excited. He loved to go swimming before he got sick. This pool is so warm, it's just like a bath tub. So he sat on Susanne's lap(shes the physio therapist) and put his feet in and he just splashed and splashed, only with his right foot, the left one is still pretty lazy. He kept triing to somehow get off her lap so that he could go in deeper. With his Berlin heart and his broviac line he's not able to go all the way in just his feet can get wet. It was really good to see him getting excited, and his left foot will come.





Before we went back to our room. Parks nurse asked me if I wanted to take him outside for a bit and so I jumped at that opportunity. Some nurses are harder to try and conivince to take him for walks then others, let alone to take him outside, so we went for a little short stroll and got some warm spring rays!!! I loved it, I'm not too sure what Parks thought of it, oh well. Its good for him.

  1. I bet it's so nice to breath the fresh air. I'm also glad that he could go swimming. It's awesome when he can have some true joy in life.
