Tanner has moved to rehab. This is great news because it means he is medically stable. After talking to the surgeon we found good news in that there were no bone spurs into the spine which means that he has had no spinal fluid leaking and it was more of a blunt trauma. Tanner has a 18" incision on his back from the surgery and today they removed 37 stitches. He has now started intense physical therapy during the day so visiting hours will be from 4:00-8:00 p.m.
Today, Tanner exceeded the goal of the Physical Therapist of sitting in a wheelchair for 20 minutes, by staying in it for 55 minutes - WAY TO GO TANNER! He took a tour of the physical therapy area where he saw the parallel bars they use to help patients walk. He told his Grandma, "That's where I will be walking!" Tanner is a fighter and he will not settle for less! He has kept his spirits high. Thanks again for all the prayers, visits, and love - it is what keeps us going!
