Physical and occupational therapy came to work with Randy today. He did quite well. They had him stand up and walk a bit. He was able to bear weight on his left leg, but walking with it was a little harder. They had him walk to the sink (with their help), brush his teeth, brush his hair, and wash his face. Then they took him for a short little walk outside of the room (he only went a few steps and then they turned him around and came back). He can't stand on his own because his balance is a bit off, but he is really trying.
They said their recommendation will be that he is ready for full on rehab (Yeah!). The process is, they turn their recommendation in to the team of doctors working on Randy, they okay it, then send the orders to the rehab team and we wait for bed availability. So, it might take a few days. Randy thinks it should happen today. He is ready!
Whenever we are able to move up to rehab (it is on the 4th floor in the same wing of the hospital we are currently in), I will post so everyone will know where he is at.

Rachel - Randy's strength is a miracle in its own right - and I'll bet he derives a lot of that from you. Just your being there is SO powerful to him! Your constant, strong, persevering faith and your devotion to Randy have been a HUGE factor in his success. Still all the glory goes to God. He will continue to keep you strong. As the storming episodes subsided, so the frustrations will subside.
I want to thank so many of Randy's friends who have visited, prayed and written.
We ALL want him back, and I totally believe that is God's plan for him - restoration and renewal. No matter where he receives rehab, God will be there with him, having gone before him to prepare a place for him, and for you - it's a promise!
