Looking forward to seeing the Poochie

We are hoping to bring Max to visit Grant tomorrow. Grant picked out Max as a 6 week old puppy exactly one year ago today. He was so small you could hold him in one hand. He must have looked like a mouse when he was born. He's been missed while Grant has spent so much time in the hospital since October. Everyday Max will go in Grant's room, and drag out a stuffed penguin, looking for Grant. He often brings one to my suitcase, and sits in it, when I am preparing to go spend the night at the hospital. He's sure a funny little dog and he sure knows Grant is missing.

Grant got out of bed today for PT. They got him standing up. He said his legs felt like rocks. Then he sat in a wheelchair for over an hour. What progress he continues to make. Every day there is progress. Those darn blood clots still cause him tremendous pain, but he keeps trying. He's a very determined young man. The doctors said that the more movement he does with his legs, the more new veins are likely to form. We don't know where we go from here, but we're on our way, wherever it is. Grant is looking forward to a visit from his good friend, Nick, tomorrow. He continues improve daily, and that's all we can ask. Thanks everyone for your posts. We like to read all your messages. Grant did use the computer the other day. He'll be checking his email before you know it!
