Another Step Forward

The steps going forward still aren't fast, but they are still moving forward.

TJ was tired today, but not in a bad way. He said he couldn't believe how little energy he had. I just explained that this is what happens when someone spends so much time in the hospital, at least in bed and unable to move.

He got the short story of why he was there, from pneumonia, to septic shock, to ARDS, etc., and handled it well. It's not traumatic if you don't remember it, at least not in the usual sense.

On a rather bright note, the doctor said he might be able to go home in as little as a week. I'm not holding my breath yet (I am not sure the statement warranted it) but just to hear something so optimistic was pretty cool.

So that's the news for the day. Give thanks for the progress, and prayers that it continues!
