Day 31: Happy Birthday Boise

Mom, Dad, Oxy and Murphy

Day 31:
It's moms birthday and what a great gift she has already received by being transported back to rehab! She was officially transferred yesturday back to rehab where all IV's have been removed, all sticky tape for the heart monitors removed, all hospital gowns removed, etc.

Dad said that the therapists are stunned at what she is able to do. She's able to somewhat bend her left knee, move her left foot and when she's standing, can straighten her left leg. She stood up yesterday for about a minute, straightened her leg and then got light headed.

Doctors will do the next surgery in about 3 weeks and then....the skies are clear, white puffy clouds fill the sky and the birds are really chirping as she may be discharged. We don't think that it means she's coming home but she will be moved to another rehab center where she'll continue to get stronger and stronger.

Happy Birthday!!!!
