Blaire's First Walk

Blaire's stay on the regular floor started a little rocky when the trip from ICU caused her pain to spike quite a lot. But, with a little help from the Physical Therapist, Nushka and some extra medication, the staff soon got it under control.
















Later, Nushka returned and helped Blaire sit up, stand and walk to the doorway of her new room. Though that was only about 20 feet there and back, it was enough to exhaust her.

When she stood up, her dad said he thinks she is now taller than her mom, who was standing next to her. The Surgeon, Dr. Karlen told her today she was definitely taller today than she was when woke up yesterday morning!
