Walking with Austin

Lynn and Elaine have become close to some of the people who work at the hospital. They definitely have their favorites. One of the favorites is Austin, a physical therapist. I think that Elaine liked him early on because he is tall and strong and she felt really safe when he was working with her. Now though, he remains a favorite because he is simply a good person. He is real, kind, and always positive.

I am so glad that Lynn was able to talk Elaine into a couple photos while she was walking with Austin today.  All through the walk they talk and even laugh at their inside jokes.

Kayl loved walking with Grandma.

Lynn pushes the chair just in case she needs a break.

She didn't need it today! 

                                    

She is doing so well and is making huge strides. These photos were taken on her third walk for the day. She just gets better and better every day!

She hasn't been moved to physical rehabilitation yet but it should happen really soon. She has one remaining chest tube that is still draining a little liquid. Once her doctor is willing to remove the tube she will be able to leave cardiovascular rehabilitation in the dust.
