He has walked quite a bit today! It's amazing to see the progress he has made in the last few days! Even his doctors and nurses are amazed. He had his dialysis catheter taken out today which means the doctor is comfortable saying he won't need it anymore. It also means his kidneys are recovering nicely. Because of medical insurance he is going to be moved to the university if utah for acute physical therapy where he will be for at least another month. We have gotten comfortable with the doctors and care we have gotten here so this will be a difficult move; at least for me. But I have been told that the U is a great facility as well. At this point we are very happy with his progress and are looking forward to better days.
I'm sure Stan is not aware of how far he has come but to see him now compared to where we started he looks amazing even though he has lost a lot of weight! I'm sure it is hard for him to understand what he has come through when he doesn't remember it and feels so very weak. He only knows what he is told by everyone who has been here and by the doctor telling him "you came as close do death as anyone possibly could". We are all so grateful for his desire to work so hard and forge ahead to recovery.
We are also very grateful for the wonderful doctors and staff that have cared so well for him at IMC. Without them he wouldn't be here today.
love you Stan!
