Guess who went outside?
Today during afternoon PT Brigham was able to walk from the right side of his bed to the left side of his bed. Wahoo! We are impressed. He said the therapist walked behind him but he was able to use the walker and do it himself. The right leg is still so heavy so it is more of a drag than a step. And he was able to go to the bathroom standing up. This is a big deal! It was tricky but he did it.
And he got to go outside! Doesn't he look so good?
He's alive! My heart could just burst with happiness and gratitude.
I keep hearing more tidbits about his time in the helicopter + in surgery and I am in awe of the miracle that he is alive. I am so thankful for everything that everyone did.
You see that machine on his lap? That is a wound vac and he will becoming home with one of those. I'm not sure if it is that size or smaller but they said he could put it in a backpack to carry it around with him. This helps the fasciotomy heal.
Wow! What a miracle! He looks great! My husband had 7 surgeries on his leg and the wound vac was amazing for his healing. So glad they gave Brigham one to take home. Can't wait to read more of his incredible journey to recovery. God is so good!
