We'll take it!

Elizabeth continued to improve today. We're so grateful!! She's wearing her own clothes (instead of a hospital gown), spending more time in her wheelchair (instead of in bed all day), and even took several steps with a walker and leg braces in therapy this afternoon. Yay! She was also moved to the rehab program today. This is great news because that means she's essentially graduated from the neuro team and that she's stable enough to move to once a shift vital signs (instead of every 4 hours) and this is sooo nice! Elizabeth's struggled with nausea and they're tweaking meds to get on top of it and figure out it works. We met another doctor on the sarcoma team and it was a very positive experience. He was encouraging and I felt like he did a great job assuring Elizabeth that she is going to get through this with lots of support from the oncology team here and from all her family and friends. All the doctors have been good, but I think we were probably in a better place to have a meaningful discussion today. We can't seem to nail down exactly what we need to do to be able to get home. That was one major thing I wanted to accomplish today, but, all in all, I feel like it was a pretty good day. We'll take it ;)
