Donovan continues to improve daily, gaining strength, standing more, and with better form. We have devloped routines around his schedule as well as Emma's and Carl's. We eat as a family in the play room down the hall almost every night and the kids get to play together for a few hours too. Donovan is sad to see his best friends Carl and Emma leave at night. Carl and Emma are sad to go home too, but we suspect it is more about the air hockey and video games than Donovan, Mom or Dad.
Donovan is doing well enough now that we are able to get day passes so he can leave the hospital grounds for a few hours. This weekend he will have his first trip since surgery in the car. The lead PT, Joe, checked out his car seat and gave it the thumbs up for being supportive enough. A few hours at the zoo or the gardens will be great for him, and even better for Mom. MFB is providing us a wheel chair so the D-Man can get around easily, and Dad doesn't have to carry the 40lb fighter.
So all is going better than expected and we are optimistic we will be home in a few weeks. Much sooner that expected!
