Quick update

Talked to Christie yesterday, but I didn't have time to update. She said that the doctor cleared Daniel to sit all the way up in bed without the brace. He ordered x-rays so we can find out when the brace comes off for good. They took out the stomach stint completely. It's gone! This is huge :) The last I heard (from Christie) is that the doctor thinks that Daniel will eventually walk, but it could be six months or more.

They had a family meeting today with mom and she'll update me this evening. As long as we connect and I know more, I'll post before going to bed tonight. The problems with his right side are related to the brain injury. This is a good thing because stuff relating to the spinal injury are less likely to change at this point. He's using his left leg just a bit more, and he can still barely wiggle his right toe. He said that he still doesn't feel like he's putting much weight on his right side when he's doing the standing exercise. They stand him up in a machine:

It's really cool...
