day 17 , 9.30pm


Still no change on the xrays...just goes to show it's an imprecise science as Sam is clearly making strides forward, I reported 2 days back a respiration of 27 bpm (breaths per minute)...now its 19. He graduated to a walker today and was able to hobble around the hospital atrium (for interest that is the photo ). He can walk a few steps unaided . He even took an actual real bath today. He is spending his time from sunup to sundown playing video games interrupted only by his care givers insisting he eat and drink and do mandatory lung vibration stuff (that he does not like). Voice remains hoarse so hearing him on the phone is tough....he is happy to have visitors though (rm 2910 pediatric icu) although they frown on under 15 year olds saying its to traumatic for the young 'uns. No definite word on when he'll be released yet....best guess 5-10 days.
