LOOK, I'M WALKING !



Wednesday at noon, one day after the brain surgery, two very friendly ladies walked into Drake's room to see how he was doing. They started playing with Drake's new stuffed animal "Otter" and asking him to catch him, reach for him and grab his tail. The next thing we knew Drake was out of bed and taking a lap around the ICU area. Drake greeted the doctors and nurses with a big smile as he was cheered on by Karen, his Physical Therapist and Michelle, his Occupational Therapist. Michelle and Karen had Drake walking and rolling in no time at all!
Drake had a nice lunch and sat in the chair for about 1 1/2 hours. He then went back to bed for a nice nap! We remained in the ICU until about 2:00pm and then were moved up to the third floor to double hospital room.
