Den has had a speaking valve on his trach for two days and is using his voice. Today he sat up on the side of the bed unaided. Balance is a big thing at this point.
In the gym he holds onto a bar and stands up and sits and stands and sits several times to strengthen leg and stomach muscles. On some days he's kind of depressed and works less than others. But who wouldn't be depressed?!
All in all, he's doing well. He'll be at Everett Care and Rehab for a few months, and welcomes visitors. I won't send reports for a while as I know you're tired of them, and the news will be pretty much the same every day.
Thanks to all of you for your support and concern. I am more grateful than I can say.
With love, Irene
