Once around the floor!

Hi Friends - Sorry in lapse in blogging. We have been very busy around here.

Chelsea had a setback at 3am on Saturday when she had trouble breathing. We were sent back to ICU where Chelsea spent an additional day and a half getting breathing treatments. The upside of this trip back to ICU was that Chels finally got some sleep! It also seemed to be the start of a huge improvement cycle!

Chels went back to regular room on Monday evening and has been walking! It was like night and day when she got back to her room. She walked to the couch; she walked to the sunroom, and even went to watch the fireworks Monday night! And she just got back from one time around the whole 7th floor walking with her therapist April.

The doctors have been so impressed with her progress that they accelerated her diet. She basically has skipped the liquid diet steps and has moved straight to soft food. She has had yogurt, sherbert, and cereal so far.

Kelly has been a huge morale booster too! As soon as she came into ICU Saturday afternoon, Chelsea has shown nothing but improvement. I really dont know what we do without Kelly - she is one in a million.

Thanks again to all of our friends who are praying for Chelsea - her progress is truly miraculous and to God goes all the Glory.
