That is really awesome! I have some idea how really hard that is. it is a really long road and a lot of work.
I had a family member that was in the ICU unconscious on a respirator for a week and then in the hospital bed for weeks after that. It was surprising how incredibly weak he was. They had a therapist come in to work with him just to try to move, stand up, walk, etc.
They released him, but he found he couldn't stand up from the couch or go up the stairs. The therapist had to work with him at home. It was a a very long road, especially while trying to recover from a pretty invasive surgery. |
