Update on husband after 15 days in hospital and now 10 days in rehab because of medication side effect/ reaction. He was not able to move legs any at all....but today in therapy.....he took 9 steps holding a walker. Such a small thing is such a blessing to see. Hoping this progress will continue so he can come home soon. Thanks.....

I was thinking of the old adage that states, "Every journey begins with one step."

Nine steps! I know in my heart how much these nine steps meant!

I'm sending you both my encouragement and support.

Here's to continued progress!

With caring thoughts,

Such a bad experience, but glad to read about current progress.

And now...after just taking 9 or 10 steps last Monday....today he walked (WITH walker)....from his bed, out the door, down the hall to rehab room....about 60-65 feet.....did exercises and then walked back down the hall to room door, turned around and walked BACK to rehab room. The therapist estimated it totaled at least 150-160 feet.....and actually stepped it off he was so surprised! Now he has to work on getting muscle strength in his abdomen and middle parts...so he can get himself up and out of bed, etc. Still hard to just "lift" legs when lying down....but I think this is real progress.....after 15 days and 10 actual therapy treatments.

Lovethedeck, you and your husband have been through a long haul fight against PC. I am praying that the rehabilitation will soon allow him to regain all of strength and get back home. I am cheering for a complete recovery so that both of you can get back better times.
My best wishes.
