Slow, steady progress

Today, Angela walked a little further - still with the walker and the physical therapist - and she went out the door onto the balcony. This was the first time she could breathe fresh air in many weeks, and she said it energized her.

Her lungs are clearing up. She still sounds very noisy breathing, but the respiratory therapists all say the sounds they heard in the bases are clearing up and what we can hear is stuff much higher up and much more easily coughed up. Angela is coughing quite well - getting rid of the gunk.

It may not be long before she is ready to leave the hospital for a rehab place, to keep gaining strength in her legs. This has not yet been determined but is likely.

We continue to praise God for his wonderful healing.
