We got the news that we were able to be discharged at Doctors rounds this morning (around 10:20am). Ian wasn't even in the room as he was out for a walk with Grandma to see the fish in the aquarium. Ian had physical therapy that morning--a treasure hunt walk to get all the pieces to a pirate Mr. Potato Head. Very clever. It helped him walk, bend, squat, etc. all things to help him strengthen his muscles again.
We made it the Ronald McDonald House or Ronald McDonald's House to Ian (as in the place where Ronald lives). It is brand new as of June 2008 and is wonderful.
Ian was a GREAT eater last night. We had chicken casserole and he ate a decent portion and then was still hungry. He ate chocolate pudding, a granola bar, and cheez-it crackers. Yeah, the steroids are kicking in for him.
It was our first day doing meds solo....and he took them like a champ overall as usual. There is no rail on Ian's bed in the RM house but it is a queen size bed. We placed him in the center hoping that he won't fall out after making a barrier of ever sturdy pillows :)
Ian will return to clinic here in Atlanta on Wednesday for labs and to get those staples out! Very exciting day!
