So we went to lunch and were gone a little longer than we wanted to. We got back and Kairi was in therapies hangin out. She was done with OT and had about 15 minutes left of PT. She was hitting balls with a bat. We played catch with her for a little while. And I asked the physical Therapist what the requirements for her to go home were. She said basically if she could walk on her own then she could go home. She was standing in front of Lindsay the PT Student on her own. So I kneeled down about 5 feet away from her held my arms out and said Kairi come to daddy. She took five steps Without help. Everyone in the gym erupted it was really loud. Kairi started crying, Liz was crying the therapists had tears in their eyes and all I could do was smile. I knew she could do it. I know she is doing everyhing in her power to get better. She is an awesome example to me. And I love her so much.
No that doesn't mean she gets to come home. They said she has to be safe to go home. Which means she has to be able to control herself as in sitting up and being stable. Being able to walk safely. And be able to tell us when she needs, hurts, or anything like that. Lisa said I think she is going to end up going home sooner than any of us expect her to especially showing us how she did today.
When it comes down to it I am going to be so sad to leave this hospital. I love being here with our little family we have come to love.
I thank you all so much for your prayers and support. It makes a huge difference in her recovery.
Love,
Pace, Liz, & Kairi
